Description from the seller
A0000004349
The pen is presented in an excellent overall preserved condition, especially notable considering its age and nature as a piece from the 1920s–1930s.
The body and cap in black ebonite retain a deep and uniform shine, with an elegant patina the fruit of time. No cracks or deformations are observed, maintaining a solid and well-preserved structure. The engravings, including the characteristic 'Montblanc Simplo', remain visible and legible, which adds collectible value.
The golden clip shows slight and uniform wear, with partial loss of the plating consistent with age, contributing authenticity without compromising its aesthetics or functionality.
The 14-karat gold nib is in very good condition, well aligned and with no visible deformations. It retains its original geometry and promises a smooth writing experience, with the flexible character typical of these historic pieces.
The safety- filling system is complete, with the mechanism present and without signs of aggressive tampering. As usual with this type of fountain pen, it shows signs of use consistent with its age, not affecting its integrity.
Overall, it is a very well preserved piece, with an excellent balance between originality, functionality and aesthetic presence, ideal for both collection and occasional use.
Conservation recommendations

Clean with lukewarm water if not used for a while
Dry before storing
Store in a dry place, away from direct light and extreme temperatures
Operate the system gently
It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Happy bidding!
