Marlen Journal Blue Demonstrator Medium 18kt gold nib fountain pen Mint For Sale

I am selling a beautiful Mint new unused Marlen Journal blue transparent resin demonstratorfountain pen with large Medium 18kt gold (rhodium-plated) nib. Screw on cap. Button filler makes this a cool pen, withbutton accessible under the blind cap at the bottom end of the pen. A throw-back to the early 1900s button filler models produced by Parker. Mint without box and papers. Marlen pens are hand-made in the Naples region of Italy, and are known the world over for their distinctive designs, and use of diverse materials. This pen is part of theJournal series, released in 2001, and characterised by its very beautifulresins, elegant shape, with hand-worked antiqued sterling silver cap bands, and Marlen\'s hand-worked antiqued sterling silver clip. New old stock, with a very nice 18kt gold nib. Please note that this pen will be shipped without box or papers, and those shown in the photos are for illustrative purposes only.
Pleasenote that on the gripping section, there is a dark ring/blotch of colour,caused by the fact that the black sac inside the resin outer is touching on theresin. This is a result of the design/manufacturing,whereby there is a tight fit between the internal nib colour/black-sac-end andthe outer resin. Please see the last photo. Some tarnish, knocks and marks may bepresent on the metal work... we do not remove these, preferring to ship the pen with its original ex-Marlen-factory patina. Approximate pen dimensions... length closed 14.0cm, length open is 12.6cm, width at widest point on cap (excluding the clip) is 1.6cm, and weight empty is 36g.

Combined Shipping Discount

I offer a combined shipping discount for multiple listeditems, but only in circumstances whereby the multiple items are being purchasedon one and same invoice/transaction showing the reduced/adjusted combinedshipping rate. This requires the buyer to request a total for multiplepurchases prior to payment, or to defer payment after the multiple itempurchase commitments are made, prior to payment, so that I can make thenecessary adjustment to the invoice and submit it to the buyer for payment.

If you do not know how to request a total, or are unableto defer payment when the purchase commitment is made, please refer to andits online instructions.

I do not offer combined shipping discounts for itemspurchased separately, and/or outside the procedure outlined above.

The reason for this policy relates to the fact that as a matter of course does not automatically retrospectively refund sellerfees/commission expenses for retrospective shipping expense adjustments onseparately purchased/paid-for items, leaving the seller with the administrativeburden and related expense of claiming rebates at a later date via a cumbersomeprocedure.

Shipping and other delays may occur

While we will make every endeavour to dispatchthis item in a timely fashion, delays with couriers/postal agencies, as well asimport authorities (eg. Customs) in the buyer’s country, can occur and thesedelays can be up to weeks, if not months (as may be experienced with recent world-wideevents). In buying this item, the Buyer is acknowledging that such delays mayoccur, and are out of the Seller’s control, and the Seller is not responsible forthem.
