Montegrappa - Rollerball Euro 2002 Limited Edition - Ballpoint pen

The rollerball pen is presented in a magnificent overall state of conservation, evidencing extremely careful prior use and excellent maintenance, ideal for daily use or to integrate high-end collections of the most select limited editions from Italian craftsmanship.

The body and cap, made in the famous blue veined solid resin of Montegrappa, maintain an immaculate, clean structure, without cracks, fissures, bites, or any deformities. When held up to the light, only subtle and fine surface manipulation marks (hairlines) derived from honest storage and use are visible, preserving an exceptional mirror-like shine that beautifully contrasts with the metallic cap.

The details and the intricate cut filigree in solid 925 thousandths sterling silver (the continent map of the body, the meridians, the clip, and the upper crown) appear bright and in magnificent condition, showing a clean patina with no losses or wear on the reliefs of the chasing. The clip with its legendary rotating ball maintains its original firm and perfect tension, and the Montegrappa mark reads with absolute clarity.

At the flat lower base of the piece is displayed, with a deep and perfect engraving, the prestigious serial number 054 / 266, formally certifying that this is the coveted specimen number 54 from a strictly limited micro-run worldwide of only 266 units in rollerball format. Just below, the official Italian goldsmith stamps shine impeccably: the 925 purity seal and the official diamond-shaped stamp ★ 1055 VI identifying the historic registry of the Montegrappa workshop in the province of Vicenza.

The writing section is the great jewel of the piece in its category: visually impeccable, clean, crowned by a superb solid silver conical tip in perfect condition, promising writing with extraordinary smoothness and fluency, characteristics inherent to the Bassano del Grappa signature engineering.

The screw-cap closure mechanism turns completely smoothly, firmly, and fluidly, offering the right resistance that ensures the set closes with total precision and hermeticity. It is worth noting that the piece is presented as a complete collection set, accompanied by its luxury blue-lacquered case, original edition documentation, and the original signature cloth.

Overall, this is an extraordinary specimen from one of the most iconic thematically limited series in the world, distinguished by its superb craftsmanship in sterling silver and an extremely low run of only 266 pieces, optimally preserved and ready to be used or displayed in a case.

Preservation recommendations
To preserve the optimal operation of this high-end piece, it is recommended to use exclusively original Montegrappa rollerball refills or high-quality compatible ones. Since it is clad in 925 sterling silver, it is natural that over time the metal may show subtle oxidation from contact with air; periodic cleaning by gently rubbing with the silver-specific cloth included in the case is advised, avoiding abrasive chemical products. If it will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the ink cartridge and store it in its case protected from direct sunlight and extreme humidity.

Happy bidding!
