Product Description
Type Limited edition anniversary fountain pen
Product Name Platinum 70th Anniversary fountain pen. This is the Jade Celluloid variant.
Manufacturer and Year Platinum, Japan - 1989. The serial number CO-NO-0462 is imprinted on the piston knob.
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System Piston filler - very rare in the Platinum lineup! Tested and working well.
Color Jade green celluloid with gold trim. The cap band has a "K18" mark on it that may indicate that it's 18k gold, though all of the information we can find on this pen says that the trim is gold-plated. The clip has no marks, so it's definitely plated gold. The cap final, piston knob, and section are black.
Nib Fine 14k gold nib. With the 70th anniversary imprint.
Condition Excellent + in box. There is some light handwear and microscratching on the cap and barrel. The black cap finial seems slightly faded. There are some slight marks on the front of the barrel from capping. The engraved pattern on the cap band is quite nice.
Regarding the box, it is not the original. The pen ships in softwood box with lined velvet platform, and ties shut with a red braided cord. A Platinum ink bottle is included. There are some big stains on the top of the box. The outer cardboard box is also present.
