AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant vintage ballpoint pen crafted in the form of a large feather.
The piece is made of silver-plated metal, most likely over a brass or similar yellow-metal base. The feather is particularly decorative, with finely engraved lines reproducing the individual barbs and central shaft in considerable detail.
The pen measures approximately 22 cm in length and weighs 41 g.
The silver plating shows age-related wear in several areas, with some of the yellow-coloured base metal becoming visible underneath. This gives the piece an attractive aged patina and clearly shows its vintage character.
Please note that the current ballpoint refill no longer writes and will need to be replaced before the pen can be used for writing.
No hallmark or maker’s mark has been identified.
