AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This exquisite Montegrappa Miya presents an excellent state of preservation, combining the refinement of the cap in solid silver .925 with the luminous depth of its body in blue marbled resin. The piece maintains impeccable presence and a uniform shine on both the metal elements and the resin, demonstrating very careful use.

The silver cap displays its characteristic guilloché with sharp definition on all panels, with no noticeable wear and maintaining a silky polish typical of Italian craftsmanship. The clip, firm and perfectly aligned, is free of deformations and retains its original curvature. The official marks—including the ★1140VI hallmark and 925 purity—are deeply engraved and fully legible.

The body in pearl blue resin is in outstanding condition: free of dents, microcracks, and opaque areas. Its spiral pattern offers intense reflections that change with the light, enhancing its artistic character. The lower ring, also in silver, retains its shine and shows no significant signs of wear.

The two-tone Montegrappa nib, point M, maintains an impeccable appearance, with no signs of deformation or wear. The decorative engraving is deep and clean, reflecting the quality characteristic of the brand. The feed is in excellent condition, indicating moderate use and proper maintenance.

The closing and screwing systems operate smoothly and precisely, with no play or abnormal friction. The pen is delivered with its original Montegrappa case, which, although showing signs of use on the outer edges, maintains its integrity and adequately protects the piece.

Overall, this is a collectible pen, elegant and very well preserved, ready to be enjoyed both as a high-level writing instrument and to showcase in any display case. An example that stands out for its beauty, quality, and condition, which is hard to find in the current market.

Good auction!
