AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004372

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing a remarkable level of preservation both aesthetically and functionally. The barrel in black precious resin maintains a deep, uniform shine, with elegant reflections that enhance its sophisticated character. At a glance, no significant wear or material loss is apparent, only very light micro-scratches typical of careful use, visible only under close inspection.

The metal elements — clip, rings and details in platinum finish — retain their integrity and original shine, with no signs of corrosion or significant wear. The clip maintains the correct tension and alignment, ensuring practical and reliable use.

The translucent upper dome with the floating Montblanc emblem is in excellent condition, with no cracks or opacities, preserving its characteristic clean and defined visual effect.

The 14-karat gold nib, sized M (Medium), is in very good condition. No deformities or misalignments are observed, and the nib tip retains its original geometry. The feed and flow have been checked, guaranteeing smooth, generous, and steady writing, in line with this nib size.

The grip area shows an excellent state, with the characteristic textured pattern well defined, with no noticeable wear, ensuring an optimal ergonomic experience.

As the only detail to mention, a small identifying tag with the letter “B” can be seen on the body, presumably added for identification of the nib width. This element does not affect the piece’s functionality at all, though it constitutes a slight intervention external to the original configuration.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved example, completely functional and ready for use or collection, maintaining the modern and technical elegance inherent to the StarWalker Midnight Black line.

Conservation Recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks. If not in prolonged use, clean with lukewarm water, dry completely before storing, and keep the piece in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Always operate the writing system gently to preserve its internal mechanisms.

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

Good auction!
