AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A0000004767
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful maintenance and appropriate to moderate use.
The black resin body maintains excellent shine and depth, with slight micro-scratches typical of use, visible only under direct light and in no way affecting its general aesthetics. No cracks, chips or deformations are observed.
The palladium-finished metal elements, 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 seen, coherent 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 serviced and tested, guaranteeing correct operation of the filling system and smooth writing.
The screw closure system works smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm closure.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for use or collection.
Conservation recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality inks specific 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 mechanism.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper conservation. Happy bidding!
