Description from the seller

This Montegrappa 1912 fountain pen, made of marbled celluloid in yellow and green tones, with details in 925 sterling silver, is presented in excellent conservation condition. It is a piece that reflects the craftsmanship and classic elegance of the Italian house, showing only minimal signs of handling and display in a showcase. The body and the cap preserve their original shine, with an attractive pearlescent grain and no cracks, scratches, or color alterations. The bands and the clip, made in silver, maintain a uniform and natural patina, with crisp engravings and the clearly visible “925” punch. 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, guaranteeing a smooth and steady ink flow. The piston filling system works correctly, with a firm seal and smooth movements, evidencing proper maintenance. The metallic emblem “1912” on the culasse (heel) looks intact, with its relief well defined. It is accompanied by its original Montegrappa green case, velvet interior, and warranty leaflet, all in optimal condition. Taken together, it is a high-quality collector’s piece, ideal for the connoisseur seeking a fountain pen with historical character, excellent functionality, and a refined and distinctive aesthetic.
