Description from the seller
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful preservation and in line with moderate use.
The black resin body maintains excellent shine and depth, with light micro-surface marks typical of use, visible only under direct light and in no way affecting its overall aesthetics. No cracks, chips, or deformations are evident.
The palladium-finished metal components, such as the clip and the central ring engraved “Van Gogh,” are in very good condition, preserving their definition and legibility. Very fine signs of use or micro-scratches can be observed, consistent with the passage of time, but without material loss or significant wear.
The steel nib is in excellent condition, clean, well aligned and ready for use. The pen has been inspected and tested, guaranteeing proper functioning of the feed system and smooth writing.
The screw closure system operates smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm closure.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for both use and collection.
Conservation recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality inks designed 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 always operate the mechanism gently to preserve its function.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Good luck with the auction!
