AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000003506

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, preserving intact all the elegance and distinctive presence of Cartier's Le Must Santos line.

The body in brushed metallic finish maintains uniformity in tone and texture, with only minor light surface micro-scratches typical of use and the passage of time, visible under direct light but that do not affect its aesthetics or structural integrity in the least. No deep dents, deformations, or loss of material are observed.

The gold-plated fittings — clip, rings and trim — retain notable brilliance, with minimal wear in line with careful use, without chipping or significant deterioration of the plating. The clip shows correct tension and alignment.

The original solid 18K gold nib (750) is in excellent visual condition, with sharp engravings and no visible alterations. The point maintains good alignment and no structural damage is observed. The feed appears clean and without cracks.

The cap screw threads thread correctly, closing securely and precisely. No play is detected.

The original Cartier case included shows light signs of exterior storage, while the interior is in good condition and retains its protective function and presentation value.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, functional and ready for use or collection, with normal and honest signs of use that confirm its authenticity and history, but without defects that compromise its elegance or performance.

Happy bidding!
