AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This exclusive Trinity pen is presented in good overall condition, retaining all the elegance and character typical of a classic piece made from precious metal. Its fluted body maintains the original shape and offers a solid, balanced presence when writing.
The silver finish shows a natural patina resulting from the passage of time, which adds authenticity and a highly appreciated vintage appeal among collectors. The clip, with its distinctive red insert, retains its firmness and functionality, although it exhibits slight wear on the enamel, without affecting its overall aesthetic.
The upper crown is complete, with the Trinity emblem clearly defined and the engraved number perfectly legible, indicating a genuine and well-preserved piece. The golden ring shows signs of superficial oxidation, common in writing instruments of its era, but without compromising structural integrity.
The rotation mechanism functions correctly, providing smooth and reliable operation. The metal tip is in good working condition, ready to receive a standard recharge.
Overall, this Trinity pen stands out for its historical character, solid construction, and refined design, making it an ideal piece for both collection and elegant use with personality.
It is provided in a courtesy box for proper preservation.
Good auction!
