S.T. Dupont Saint-Germain fountain pen with a gold-plated metal body featuring longitudinal striations and a dark lacquer cap, 14.3 cm long and 1.4 cm in diameter, made in France in the late 20th century, in good used condition and in working order.
Description from the seller
The S.T. Dupont Saint-Germain fountain pen is presented in very good condition, showing an elegant and well cared-for appearance that reflects moderate and respectful use over time.
The gold-plated metal body with longitudinal ribbed decoration preserves a very attractive shine, with a uniform finish that enhances the classic aesthetic characteristic of this line from the French maison. Slight superficial micro-scratches typical of use and the passage of time are visible, only appreciable up close, but do not affect the overall aesthetics or the finish’s integrity at all.
The dark resin cap with a vertical stripe pattern maintains an excellent presence, with a clean and well-preserved surface. The gold-plated elements, including the clip and decorative rings, are in very good condition, with the plating bright and without visible losses.
The cap band engraved “S.T. Dupont Paris” appears sharp and perfectly legible, maintaining the definition of the engravings.
The gold nib is well aligned and retains an excellent presence, with a clean surface and no deformities. The feed is intact and properly seated. The pen has been reviewed and tested, functioning fully and ready for use.
Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, with the classic appeal of S.T. Dupont writing instruments and a refined presence that makes it an excellent option both for a collection and for daily use.
Conservation recommendations
To preserve this fountain pen’s good condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically intended for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks or inks with particulates. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, it is advisable to clean it with lukewarm water, dry it carefully before storing, and keep it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Additionally, actuate the filling system gently to ensure its proper long-term preservation.
It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
