Beschreibung

Overview

A rare early-production fountain pen from S.T. Dupont, dating to the 1970s. Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver with full hallmarks across the cap, body, and base, and finished in deep dark blue natural Chinese lacquer.

Distinguished by a hand-applied red lacquer artisan signature, this piece reflects a highly specialized decorative technique used in early high-end Dupont production.

Fitted with a solid 18K white gold nib (hallmarked), this is a true collector-grade writing instrument.


Key Details

• Brand: S.T. Dupont
• Period: 1970s
• Type: Fountain Pen
• Material: Solid 925 sterling silver (fully hallmarked)
• Finish: Natural Chinese lacquer (hand-applied)
• Color: Dark blue lacquer
• Signature Detail: Hand-applied red lacquer artisan mark

Hallmarks & Construction

This example is fully hallmarked across all structural metal components:
• Cap / finial
• Barrel / body
• Base / end

Confirming true solid sterling silver construction, not plated—an expensive method reserved for early high-end production.

The nib is also clearly hallmarked 18K, confirming solid gold.


Lacquer & Artisan Signature

Finished in true natural Chinese lacquer, applied by hand in multiple layers—an advanced technique requiring time, precision, and specialist craftsmanship.

A defining feature is the red lacquer signature mark, which is:
• Hand-applied by an artisan
• Executed using lacquer (not ink or print)
• A distinct Dupont decorative technique (not Namiki/Maki-e)
• Found only on select early production pieces

This element significantly enhances both authenticity and collectibility.


Nib & Writing Performance

• Solid 18K white gold nib (hallmarked)
• Precision engraving
• Smooth, controlled ink flow
• Reliable long-term writing performance


Mechanism

Snap-cap system (no twisting)
• Clean pull-off cap
• Internal section removable via threading
• Substantial weight due to full silver construction


Collector Notes

This piece combines several highly desirable characteristics:
Fully hallmarked 925 solid silver construction
Natural Chinese lacquer finish
Hand-applied red lacquer artisan signature
Hallmarked 18K solid gold nib

These features place it within a category of early, high-cost, low-volume Dupont production, not replicated in later lines.


Condition

Excellent vintage condition.
Lacquer remains clean with strong presence of the red signature.
All hallmarks are intact and clearly visible.
Minor signs of careful handling consistent with age.


Guarantee

24-month working guarantee included.
Covers mechanical functionality under normal use.
Excludes damage from misuse, impact, or incorrect handling.
