Perfect gift for a loved one! BRAND NEW, CLEANED, LUBRICATED & TESTED Dear future buyer, This piece was brought to brand new condition and is ready for use, thank you! This is a beautiful vintage Parker 35 "Place Vendome" ecorce pattern 18K medium-nibbed cartridge pen. Over the time I started to grow a great love for these beautifully patterned models and have gathered and maintained as many as I could! I invite you to read a little about it on the internet, as the pen was covered in multiple articles and magazines and is favored by collectors and enthusiasts all over the world. It's close to factory condition and it shows no scratches. The pen was also tested and it writes beautifully. Additionally, as a vintage objects collector myself, I carefully restored it so you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art! The pen is technically and esthetically perfect, passing all tests! Please Note: - The pen is a cartridge type, compatible with any modern day refills, and converters! - The shipping will be done with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you and happy treasure hunting!
