Description from the seller

A0000003554

The piece is presented in a very good overall condition, standing out for its elegant finish in gold metal with a deep and homogeneous shine, which reflects proper care over time. The body and the cap maintain an excellent aesthetic presence, with micro signs of superficial use visible only under close inspection and certain light-related incidences, typical of light and respectful use.

The clip preserves its structural firmness and correct alignment, without deformations, maintaining its optimal functionality. The engravings on the collar are sharp and well defined, indicating careful preservation without significant wear on the inscriptions.

The nib, in 14-carat gold (14K), is in very good condition, with no visible deformations in the tines. It presents slight signs of use consistent with writing, not affecting performance. The feed appears clean and correctly aligned, guaranteeing proper ink flow. The pen has been inspected and is delivered in proper working order, ready for use.

The filling system operates smoothly, showing precise action and no play, which reinforces the good mechanical preservation of the set.

A light patina and minimal pinpoint marks are observed on the gold finish, especially in areas of habitual contact, which do not detract from its overall aesthetics, but rather add character to the piece.

Since there is no original box, it will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!

Conservation recommendations

To keep the pen in optimal condition, 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 operate the filling system gently.
