Description from the seller

This Montegrappa 1912 fountain pen, crafted in marbled celluloid in yellow and green tones, with details in 925 sterling silver, is presented in excellent condition. It is a piece that reflects the craftsmanship and classic elegance of the Italian house, showing only minimal signs of handling and display in a showcase. The body and cap preserve their original shine, with an attractive pearlescent grain and no cracks, scratches, or color alterations.

The rings and the clip, made of silver, maintain a uniform and natural patina, with crisp engravings and the '925' stamp clearly visible.
The bi-tone 18-karat gold nib, engraved with the brand’s characteristic Greek key motif, is in perfect condition, with no deformities or wear, guaranteeing a smooth and steady ink flow.
The piston-filler system works correctly, with a firm seal and smooth movements, evidencing proper maintenance.
The metallic emblem '1912' on the finial remains intact, with its relief well defined. It comes with its original Montegrappa green case, plush-lined interior, and warranty leaflet, all in excellent condition.

Overall, this is a high-quality collector’s piece, ideal for the connoisseur seeking a fountain pen with historic character, excellent functionality, and a refined and distinctive aesthetic.

Happy bidding!
