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 shine, with light micro marks typical of careful handling, virtually imperceptible to the naked eye and that do not at all dull its presence.

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

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

The 18-carat 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 nor its overall appeal as a writing piece.

The set includes its original presentation, composed of wooden box, documentation, ink bottle and accessories, which significantly increases its value and appeal on the collectible market.

Care recommendations

To preserve the pen in optimum condition, it is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean the system with warm water if 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.
