AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004718

The fountain pen is presented in excellent condition, notable for the high quality of preservation of its materials and original finishes. The metal body with a gold finish maintains a very attractive shine, with light micro-surface marks typical of careful handling, practically imperceptible to the naked eye and that do not dull its presence at all.

The decorative engraving is well defined and uniform, preserving all its visual richness and detail. The bands in black resin show an excellent state, 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 may influence its value for collectors, though it does not affect its functionality or overall appeal as a writing piece.

The set includes its original presentation, consisting of a wooden box, documentation, an inkwell and accessories, which significantly increases its value and appeal in the collectible market.

Conservation recommendations

To keep the pen in optimal condition, it is recommended to use quality inks specifically for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean the system with lukewarm water if not used for a period, 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.
