这款 Reform Original 3， represents a magnificent example of mid-20th-century classic German engineering, and a highly valued model among vintage writing enthusiasts, is presented in a truly enviable state of preservation. The body and cap, made from a sturdy black obsidian-colored polished thermoplastic resin injection, retain a deep, clean, uniform mirror shine, reflecting a surface that is magnificently cared for and completely free of the typical cracks, fissures, or heavy-use marks that these postwar work tools usually exhibit.

The original gold nib stands out superbly: it bears the classic, streamlined silhouette of German nibs of the era, with its tines perfectly aligned and the iridium tip whole, symmetric and with no deformation or twist. The flat ebonite feed remains structurally intact, clean, and centrally positioned, guaranteeing a steady ink flow and an imposing aesthetic presence.

As for the metal details, the characteristic curved clip with the name "REFORM" engraved in relief and the double gold ring at the base of the cap maintain a clean shine and excellent tension, showing only a light and natural wear on the upper crown from the passage of time, which adds a very honest historical patina to the piece.

A definitive factor contributing to its extremely high collection value is the extraordinary sharpness of its imprint. The longitudinal engraving on the resin body remains impeccably deep, clean, and perfectly legible: “Reform [Wing Logo] Original,” finished with the model number "3" at the end, which testifies to the minimum level of friction or wear the surface has suffered over the decades. Similarly, at the base of the blind cap, the classic engraving identifying the German brand and the type of writing point is clearly visible.

When the rear screw-on blind cap is removed, the mechanical core of this model is revealed: the metal plunger corresponding to its Button Filler system. As can be seen in the images, the stem is structurally perfect, aligned, and free of deep rust or obstructions. In the body’s screw area, subtle white residues are observed, typical of talc maintenance or chalk used in the past to protect the mechanism, confirming that the pen has been stored responsibly.

In conclusion, this is a showroom-quality specimen, extremely sober, sturdy, and preserved to an exceptionally high standard. A historical piece of central European writing archaeology that will enrich any high-end collection.

Happy bidding!
