Product Description
Type Fountain Pen
Product Name Olympio. There were three sizes, and the names changed confusingly over the years, but suffice it to say this is the middle size. See this post on Fountain Pen Network for an excellent discussion of the model.
Manufacturer and Year ST Dupont, France -- late 1990s or early 2000s. This pen has the serial number 5H5JD14 on the clip.
Length 5-9/16".
Filling System International cartridge or converter fill. It comes with a Schmidt converter installed.
Color Silver colored, with a barleycorn pattern all over. We don't think it's sterling or silverplated, we think it's probably palladium.
Nib Medium 18k nib.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, dings, or scratches. This is a heavy, shiny, beautiful pen that will make an impression. There is microscratching on the section. There are hints of patina in some places on the pen, though they appear much more prominent in the pictures than in hand. For example, the top of the clip looks very dark in the photo, but it's barely visible through a loupe or in hand. The area between the bottom of the clip and the cap lip also has a bit of gold patina, as does the back third of the pen, where it might rest in the hand while writing. Otherwise, the pen looks really great. All imprints are clear. Ships in ST Dupont box with paperwork.
