Description from the seller

A0000004414

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing remarkable preservation both aesthetically and functionally.

The body in red marbled resin maintains an excellent shine and depth of color, with the characteristic veins well defined and no appreciable discolorations. There are light micro-signs of surface use, typical of the passage of time and careful handling, but without cracks, dents, or structural defects. The black areas (the butt cap and the cap) likewise preserve a good finish, with minimal signs of handling.

The gold elements — clip, rings and embellishments — are in very good condition, with uniform shine and no significant loss of plating, which reinforces their visual appeal.

The nib made of solid 18K gold is in excellent condition, with no deformations or abnormal wear, maintaining proper alignment and smooth writing. The feeds are clean and in optimal working condition.

The filling system has been inspected and tested, functioning correctly, guaranteeing a reliable writing experience from the first use.

Overall, it is a very well preserved piece, fully functional and ready for use or collection, with light signs of use consistent with its age.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use inks of high quality specific for fountain pens and to avoid pigmented inks. In case of prolonged non-use, clean with warm water, dry completely before storing and keep in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to preserve its long-term mechanics.

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

Happy bidding!
