Description from the seller

A0000004369

A specimen in very good overall condition, with an especially attractive presence thanks to its vibrant red resin finish, well preserved and with a uniform shine that enhances its vintage aesthetics. The body maintains good structural integrity, showing only light surface wear typical of the passage of time, with no cracks or deformations.

The “Montblanc Simplo” engraving remains sharp and legible, with minimal wear that does not compromise readability, adding authenticity and character to the piece. The metal elements, including the gold clip, are in solid condition, with light signs of use and micro-scratches, but maintaining a good overall appearance and proper functionality.

The Montblanc star on the cap shows evident signs of aging, with material loss at the top, something typical in pieces from this era, which does not affect functionality but is something to consider aesthetically and for collectors.

The gold nib is in good condition, with correct geometry and no visible deformations. The feed shows good fit and the assembly has been inspected, ensuring functional writing. The filling system retains its original structure, with signs of use in the mechanism area, but operative after review.

Overall, an honest piece, with wear commensurate with its age, well structurally preserved and fully functional, ideal for both use and collection.

Care recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks. Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while, dry before storing, keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures and operate the filling system gently.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Happy bidding!
