Perfect gift for a loved one! Almost brand new, CLEANED (silver polish, no rubbing), LUBRICATED (specialty on joints) & TESTED Dear future buyer, This piece is almost brand new but has also been reconditioned and is ready for use, thank you! This is a beautiful vintage Parker 75 "Ciselé" anniversary sterling silver ballpoint pen. It's close to factory condition and it shows no scratches. It uses commonly available refills, which I also included a picture of. The ballpoint was also tested and it writes beautifully. The body has 1 small imperceptible bump from the production process since back in the 60 the pens were made manually. I also have the pen companion up for sale now, feel free to take a look on my account and read about it here: https://penthoughts.home.blog/2019/03/03/review-the-parker-75-sterling-cicele/ Also, feel free to look online for the series, as this was and is very popular with pen enthusiasts and writers, and was covered in multiple articles and magazines! Additionally, as a vintage objects collector myself, I carefully restored it so you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art! Please Note: - The pen is compatible wit any modern day refills! - The black box is only for providing a safe photo cushion. - The shipping will be done by courier, with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you. Happy holidays and happy treasure hunting!
