The clip features a clean, functional finish, retaining its proper tension and a very well-kept appearance. The central band, with Cartier signature and visible hallmarks, is in very good condition, showing only very light micro-scratches consistent with very moderate use.

The metal end pieces retain their shine and uniformity, with no significant wear, reinforcing the excellent overall presentation of the piece.

The 18K white gold nib (750) is presented in very good condition, with crisp engravings and no visible deformations. The tip maintains proper alignment, offering smooth and precise writing. The feed properly supports, guaranteeing a steady ink flow.

The cartridge/converter filling system has been inspected and is delivered operative and functional, ready for use.

Overall, this is a fountain pen in excellent condition, close to collection status, ideal for both daily use and for collectors seeking a piece that represents Cartier's classic design.

Conservation recommendations

It is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoiding pigmented inks or those with high pigment load. In case of long-term non-use, clean with lukewarm water, dry completely before storing, and keep in a dry place, without direct exposure to sunlight or extreme temperatures. Always operate the filling system gently to preserve its original mechanism.

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

Happy bidding!
