AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004414

The fountain pen is presented in very good overall condition, showing remarkable preservation both aesthetically and functionally.

The red marbled resin body maintains excellent shine and depth of color, with the characteristic veining well defined and no noticeable discolorations. There are light micro signs of surface wear, typical of the passage of time and careful use, but without cracks, dents, or structural defects. The black areas (end cap and cap) likewise preserve a good finish, with minimal signs of handling.

The gold elements —clip, rings, and adornments— are in very good condition, with uniform shine and no significant loss of plating, which reinforces its visual appeal.

The 18K solid gold nib is in excellent condition, with no deformations or abnormal wear, maintaining proper alignment and smooth writing. The feed is clean and in optimal working condition.

The filling system has been inspected and tested, functioning correctly, guaranteeing a reliable writing experience from the first use.

Overall, this is a very well-preserved piece, fully functional and ready for use or collection, with light wear consistent with its age.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality inks specific for fountain pens and to avoid pigmented inks. If not used for an extended period, clean with warm water, dry completely before storing, and keep in a dry place away from direct light and extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to preserve its mechanism in the long term.

It will be sent in a courtesy box for proper preservation.

Happy bidding!
