The fountain pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing remarkable preservation both aesthetically and functionally.

The red marbled resin body maintains excellent gloss and depth of color, with the characteristic veins well defined and no noticeable discoloration. Light micro-scratches from surface use are observed, typical of the passage of time and careful use, but without cracks, dents, or structural defects. The black areas (end cap and cap) likewise preserve a good finish, with minimal signs of handling.

The gold elements — clip, rings, and embellishments — are in very good condition, with uniform shine and no significant losses of plating, reinforcing their visual appeal.

The solid 18K gold nib is in excellent condition, with no deformations or abnormal wear, maintaining proper alignment and smooth writing. The feed is clean and in optimal operating condition.

The filling system has been checked and tested, functioning correctly, guaranteeing a reliable writing experience from the first use.

Overall, it is a very well-preserved piece, fully functional and ready for use or collection, with light signs of wear consistent with its age.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens and to avoid pigmented inks. In case of prolonged non-use, rinse with lukewarm water, dry completely before storing, and keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to preserve its mechanism in the long term.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper conservation.

Happy bidding!
