AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


Item Description:

A vintage short-style fountain pen by Platinum Pen Co., one of Japan's most respected pen makers, fitted with an 18K gold nib stamped 750 in a Fine-Soft grade. This pen is believed to date from the 1970s.
Although pre-owned, this pen has been well preserved and remains in very clean condition for its age, which is a pleasure to find in a vintage piece. The soft gold nib gives a smooth, responsive line with a gentle, springy feel that is highly valued by collectors of Japanese vintage pens. The compact short body slips easily into a pocket or pen case, and the cartridge-fill system keeps it simple to use.
The pen has been lightly cleaned. Note: Ink cartridges are not included, as liquid ink cannot be shipped from Japan to Europe due to transport regulations. The pen is offered as the body only, without box or accessories.


Condition:
Pre-owned but in very clean, well-preserved condition, with only fine surface scratches consistent with light use. Slight ink residue remains inside after basic cleaning; body only, with no box or accessories.


Artist Profile:

It is known for gold-nibbed fountain pens such as the #3776 Century and for its lacquer and maki-e collections. Vintage models from the maker are sought after by collectors in Japan and abroad.
