Description from the seller

This Montegrappa 1912 fountain pen, made from marbled celluloid in yellow and green tones, with details in sterling silver 925, is presented in excellent condition. It is a piece that reflects the artisanal mastery and classic elegance of the Italian house, showing barely any signs of handling and being kept on a display shelf. The barrel and cap retain 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, natural patina, with crisp engravings and the clearly visible “925” stamp. The two-tone 18-karat gold nib, engraved with the brand’s characteristic Greek key motif, is in perfect condition, with no deformations or wear, ensuring a smooth and steady ink flow. The piston-filler mechanism works correctly, with a firm seal and smooth movements, evidencing proper maintenance. The metallic “1912” emblem on the tumolide (heel) looks intact, with its raised relief well defined. It is accompanied by its original Montegrappa green case, velvet-lined interior, and warranty brochure, all in excellent condition. Taken together, it is a high-quality collectible piece, ideal for the connoisseur seeking a fountain pen with historical character, excellent function, and a refined and distinctive aesthetic.

Good luck with the auction!
