AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000001391

This Montegrappa Miya Argento is in very good condition, maintaining all the presence, quality, and aesthetics that characterize this high-end Italian model.

The sterling silver 925 cap maintains a clean, uniform shine, with the classic well-defined guilloché engraving and no loss of texture. It shows only minor surface micro-marks typical of normal contact and handling in silver pieces, but no dents, hits, or deformations, which is especially important in this type of solid caps. The official engravings ★1140MI and 925 remain deep and perfectly legible.

The marbled blue resin body exhibits a high gloss and deep veining, with no cracks, fissures, or signs of structural wear. The resin maintains its original hue, free of stains or opacity, providing an excellent contrast with the polished silver of the cap and section.

The 925 silver section, including the inner piece that holds the feeder, is also in very good condition, with the silver engraving visible and no corrosion, excessive wear, or deformations. The threading between the body and the cap functions correctly, ensuring a secure and aligned closure.

The 18K gold nib (750) is in excellent condition: it features a sharp engraving, shows no twisting or misalignment in the claws, and retains its intact bicolor finish. The ebonite feed displays a clean geometry and well-defined grooves, indicating proper maintenance.

Overall, this Miya Argento stands out for its general condition, the clarity of its noble materials, and the absence of structural damage. It is a piece ready for immediate use and highly attractive to collectors seeking a solid, elegant model that is difficult to find in sterling silver.

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

Good auction!
