Description from the seller
A0000004767
The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful preservation and consistent with moderate use.
The black resin body maintains an excellent shine and depth, with light micro-surface marks typical of use, visible only under direct light and in no way affecting its general aesthetics. No cracks, chips, or deformations are apparent.
The palladium-finished metal elements, such as the clip and the central band engraved with “Van Gogh,” are in very good condition, preserving their definition and legibility. Very fine signs of use or micro-scratches can 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 serviced and tested, guaranteeing proper operation of the filling system and smooth writing.
The screw-cap closure system operates smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm seal.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for use or collection.
Preservation recommendations
It is recommended to use high-quality inks specific for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if it is not used for a while, dry completely before storage, store in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and always operate the mechanism gently to preserve its workings.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!
