AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004718

The fountain pen is presented in excellent condition, standing out for the high quality of preservation of its original materials and finishes. The metal body with a gold finish maintains a very attractive brightness, with light micro-scratches characteristic of careful handling, virtually imperceptible to the naked eye and that in no way dull its presence.

The decorative engraving is well defined and uniform, preserving all its visual richness and detail. The black resin bands are in excellent condition, with no cracks or deformations, offering an elegant contrast to the overall design.

The cap fits correctly and the clip holds good tension, with no play, preserving its original functionality. The grip section is in very good condition, with no significant wear.

The 18-karat gold nib is in magnificent condition, with sharp engravings and no deformations, guaranteeing smooth and precise writing. The pen has been serviced and is delivered fully operational, ready for use.

It should be noted the presence of a personalized engraving on the body, an element that can influence its value for collectors, although it does not affect its functionality or its overall appeal as a writing piece.

The set includes its original presentation, consisting of a wooden box, documentation, an inkwell, and accessories, which significantly increases its value and appeal in the collector market.

Care recommendations

To keep the pen in optimal condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean the system with lukewarm water if it is not used for a while, dry it completely before storing, keep it in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures, and operate the filling system gently at all times.
