Description from the seller
A0000004352
ARMANDO SIMONI CLUB BOLOGNA MEDIO FOUNTAIN PEN (“ARANCIO”): We are presenting for auction an imposing high-end creation by Armando Simoni Club. This contemporary brand was founded with a clear purpose: to revive and elevate the legendary legacy of quality, design, and celluloids of the historic Italian house OMAS. The model’s name, “Bologna,” pays tribute to the city where the legendary original brand was born.
This piece immediately captivates with its dazzling “Arancio” (a deep, vibrant orange) body, elegantly contrasted by its majestic gold-tone trim. At the base of the cap, a thick band decorated with the classic Greek key motif stands out, an unmistakable hallmark of great Italian fountain pens.
Unlike the entry-level models, this Bologna Medio features a sophisticated integrated piston-filling system, operated from the barrel end, ensuring a generous ink capacity. Its nib is richly engraved with the intricate geometric arch pattern characteristic of ASC and finished with the indication of its Fine (F) point, offering a superlative writing experience.
Condition (Expert Inspection)
The fountain pen is in excellent cosmetic and working condition:
Barrel and Cap: The material retains an impeccable mirror polish, with no marks, cracks, or deformations.
Metal Trim: The substantial clip and the ring with the Italian Greek key motif retain a vibrant, lustrous gold finish.
Nib: 14k gold nib in perfect structural condition, with the tines correctly aligned.
Mechanism: The internal piston turns with the appropriate resistance and smoothness.
(We recommend viewing the photo gallery in detail to appreciate the spectacular Arancio color and the fine engravings on the gold nib.)
Shipping
The item will be carefully protected and packaged for shipping, with an international tracking number.
Best of luck to all bidders on this superb and exclusive jewel of the new Italian high-end watchmaking and writing world!
