AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Marlen “Aliante” Special Collection Aeronautica Militare – Argento 925 – Like new
The pen features a refined resin body marbled in shades of blue and black, enriched with metal fittings and a large central band in 925 silver, as indicated also by the original tag still present. The nib is made of chrome-plated steel.
The most valuable artistic element is the wide silver band, finely worked in relief and characterized by a striking antique finish. The decoration reproduces the emblem of the Aeronautica Militare, composed of the symbols of four historic Italian squadriglie:
1. Leone di San Marco, linked to the 87th Squadron “Serenissima”
2. Grifone, symbol of the 91st Fighter Squadron
3. Quadrifoglio, associated with the 10th Caproni Bombardment Squadron
4. Pegaso alato, linked to the 26th Reconnaissance Squadron
The band shows natural surface oxidation, typical of genuine silver and consistent with the pen’s age. The patina has not been removed, in order to preserve its original look and antique finish.
The piece is part of the Special Collection Aliante dedicated to the Aeronautica Militare, as documented by the included original booklet.
The pen presents itself as new, never used and never inked, in excellent preserved condition and with 4 cartridges included.
