AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004211

The pen is presented in very good overall condition, especially notable for its attractive fully gold-plated finish with a striped pattern, which preserves an intense and uniform shine, enhancing its elegant and classic character.

The body shows light signs of use consistent with the passage of time, visible only upon close inspection, in the form of micro superficial marks. No significant shocks or deformations are observed, maintaining excellent structural integrity.

The cap, with integrated clip, is well adjusted and functional, preserving proper alignment. The engravings and decorative details remain sharp and well defined.

The black resin section is in good condition, with slight signs of use appropriate to its age, without cracks or structural damage.

This is mounted on a 14C gold nib (585), of the brand , it is in very good condition, with correct alignment and no appreciable deformations. The nib is not correct to this model. The piston-fump system (?) has been serviced and works correctly, guaranteeing smooth and safe loading.

Overall, it is a well-preserved specimen, completely functional and ready for use or collection, with a highly striking aesthetic presence.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoiding pigmented inks. If not used for a prolonged period, clean with warm water, dry carefully before storing and keep in a dry place, without direct exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures. Operate the filling system gently to preserve its internal mechanism.

It will be shipped in a courtesy box for proper preservation. Happy bidding!
