Description from the seller

The fountain pen is in very good overall condition, showing careful preservation and moderate use.

The black resin body maintains excellent shine and depth, with light micro-scratches typical of use, visible only under direct light and in no way affecting its overall aesthetics. No cracks, chips, or deformations are evident.

The palladium-finished metal components, 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 may be observed, consistent with the passage of time, but with no material loss or significant wear.

The steel nib is in excellent condition, clean, well aligned and ready for use. The pen has been inspected and tested, guaranteeing proper operation of the filling system and smooth writing.

The screw closure system operates smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm closure.

Overall, it is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for both use and collection.

Conservation recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically 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 sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!
