Description from the seller

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing careful preservation consistent with moderate use.

The black resin body maintains excellent shine and depth, with light micro-scratches typical of use, visible only under direct light and not affecting its overall aesthetics in the slightest. No cracks, chips, or deformations are observed.

The palladium-finish metal elements, such as the clip and the central ring engraved “Van Gogh,” are in very good condition, preserving their definition and legibility.

Very fine signs of use or micro-scratches may 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 inspected and tested, ensuring proper function of the filling system and smooth writing.

The screw-closure system operates smoothly and precisely, ensuring a firm closure.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully operational and ready for use or for collection.

Care recommendations:
- It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically designed for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean with lukewarm water if not in use for a while, dry completely before storing, keep 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!
