It is perfect for collectors and writing enthusiasts alike, and comes with a luxurious feel. The pen is a great addition to any writing collection, with its gold, 14K nib and beautiful sterling silver accents. It is an Italian-made pen, with a fine (F) nib and no ink color. It is a vintage item, perfect for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a unique fountain pen. I do not have the box and the price reflects that.
