No notable scratches, stains or fading recorded, on a set the seller says was used only a few times.
The seller states the set was used only a few times and records no notable scratches, no large marks and no fading, describing it as very clean with good gloss overall.
Both pens have been checked and write smoothly at present, and the seller has given the fountain pen a simple flush so it can be inked straight away.
It is a home stored used set, and the accessories listed by the seller are the gift box, the outer sleeve, two instruction and warranty booklets, a genuine converter and one unused ink cartridge.
The seller did not test-write it, so we make no claim about how it writes. It is sold as-is.
The photos are part of the description — please look through all of them before you buy.
Nothing beyond the list above is included.
Nib width follows the maker's Japanese grading, which runs finer than most Western nibs.
Screen settings and lighting can shift colours slightly; a small difference from the photos is not treated as a fault.
