The cap, with its integrated clip, is well fitted and functional, and remains correctly aligned. The engravings and decorative details are still crisp and well defined.

The black resin section is in good condition, with minor signs of use consistent with its age and no cracks or structural damage.

It is fitted with a 14C (585) gold nib, from the brand , which is in very good condition, correctly aligned and with no noticeable deformations. The nib is not correct to this model. The piston-filling system has been inspected and works correctly, ensuring smooth and reliable filling.

Overall, this is a well-preserved, fully functional example, ready to use or add to a collection, with a particularly striking appearance.

Care recommendations

We recommend using quality inks specifically intended for fountain pens and avoiding pigmented inks. If the pen will not be used for an extended period, clean it with lukewarm water, dry it carefully before storing, and keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to protect its internal mechanism.

It will be shipped in a complimentary box for proper storage. Happy bidding!
