Description from the seller
A0000004211
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, notable especially for its attractive fully gold-plated finish with a ribbed pattern, which preserves a bright and even shine, enhancing its elegant and classic character.
The body shows light signs of use consistent with the passage of time, visible only on close inspection, in the form of micro superficial marks. No significant bumps or deformations are observed, maintaining excellent structural integrity.
The cap, with integrated clip, is well adjusted and functional, preserving its correct alignment. The engravings and decorative details remain sharp and well defined.
The black resin section is in good condition, with slight signs of use appropriate to its age, with no cracks or structural damage.
The 14K (585) gold nib is in very good condition, with correct alignment and no appreciable deformations. The piston filling system has been inspected and functions correctly, ensuring smooth and secure operation.
Overall, it is a well-preserved exemplar, fully functional and ready for use or collection, with a highly striking aesthetic presence.
Conservation recommendations
It is recommended to use quality inks designed for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks. If not in use for a long time, clean with warm water, carefully dry before storing and keep in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Operate the filling system gently to preserve its internal mechanics.
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!
