Description from the seller

The piece is presented in overall very good condition, notable for its elegant finish in gold metal with a deep, uniform shine that reflects proper care over time. The body and cap maintain an excellent aesthetic appearance, with micro signs of surface wear visible only under close inspection and certain light-related incidences, typical of light and respectful use.

The clip preserves its structural firmness and correct alignment, without deformations, maintaining its optimal functionality. The engravings on the ring are sharp and well defined, indicating careful preservation without significant wear on the inscriptions.

The nib, in 14-carat gold (14K), is in very good condition, with no visible deformities in the tines. It presents light signs of use consistent with writing, not affecting its performance. The feed appears clean and correctly aligned, ensuring adequate ink flow. The pen has been serviced and is delivered in proper working order, ready for use.

The filling system operates smoothly, showing precise action and no play, which reinforces the good mechanical condition of the whole.

A light patina and minimal pinpoint marks are visible on the gold finish, especially in areas of habitual contact, which do not detract from its overall aesthetics; rather they add character to the piece.

Since there is no original box, it will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!

Care recommendations

To keep the pen in optimal condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry completely before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently.
