AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000003506

The fountain pen presents itself in very good overall condition, maintaining intact all the elegance and characteristic presence of Cartier's Le Must Santos line.

The body in brushed metallic finish preserves uniformity in tone and texture, with only light micro-scratches typical of use and the passage of time, visible under direct light but that do not affect its aesthetics or structural integrity at all. No deep dents, deformations or material losses are observed.

The gold accents — clip, rings and fittings — retain notable shine, with minimal wear and consistent with careful use, without peeling or significant deterioration of the finish. The clip shows proper tension and alignment.

The original 18K solid gold nib is in excellent visual condition, with clear engravings and no visible alterations. The tip maintains good alignment and no structural damage is observed. The feeder is clean and crack-free.

The cap thread adjusts correctly, closing firmly and precisely. No play is detected.

The original Cartier case included shows light signs of exterior storage, keeping the interior in good condition and preserving its protective function and presentation value.

Overall, it is a very well-preserved piece, functional and ready for use or collection, with normal and honest signs of use that confirm its authenticity and provenance, but without defects that compromise its elegance or performance.

Happy bidding!
