CHOPARD Fountain Pen Including 18K Medium Nib & Feed, Needs Grip Cover
Item History & Price
Don(ccvinylman) Larter, Owner
UPFOR BIDS! A lovely, deluxe fountain pen from Chopard, makers of luxury watches and pens. This pen needs a cover for the grip section. Other than that, it is in near-mint-minus condition. There is a miniscule nick in the gold ring in the top of the barrel. (By the way, the pen comes with an original box, a picture of which I will supply when I find the box!)
My story: I inadvertently allowed the converter... to leak ink into the barrel of the pen. Consequently, the entire section became lodged in the barrel when the ink dried. Instead of soaking the pen in water, which was probably the way to go, I used a pair of channel lock pliers (with protective cushioning, of course) to attempt to remove the section from the threads in the barrel. Mistake!I protected the finish of the barrel, but not the grip-section cover, which was too damaged to use. Hence, we have here a fine pen in need of a grip cover.
The nib writes very smoothly indeed, with a nice, juicy line. I cannot remember if it yields line variation with increased pressure, as I have not used it in months. I assume, however, the nib has some bounce since it is 18 carat gold. The resin is dark black and has a nice sheen to it. I do not know the model name or number. I purchased the pen new in December, 2019, so it is definitely not vintage.
