For your consideration, we are pleased to offer for sale this elegant Circa 1995 LeBoeuf Fountain Pen in the highly attractive Red Lacquer with Gold Plated trim with Opal Jewel, fitted with an 18K Fine nib. This LeBoeuf Fountain Pen is presented in New Old Stock, Never Inked, Mint condition.
Revived during the 1990s, the LeBoeuf name paid tribute to one of America's historic pen manufacturers by producing a series of limited and special-edition writing instruments inspired by the golden age of fountain pens. Drawing heavily upon Art Deco styling and premium materials, these modern interpretations offered a distinctive blend of classic elegance and contemporary craftsmanship. It should be noted that these modern LeBoeuf fountain pens were manufactured in Germany, whereas the original LeBoeuf pens were produced in the United States. Aside from sharing the celebrated name, these modern pens bear little resemblance to their vintage predecessors.
This particular example showcases a richly detailed red lacquer design accented by gold-plated trim and a fiery Australian opal cabochon set into the crown of the cap. The result is a striking writing instrument that exudes luxury and refinement while maintaining a distinctly modern presence. The polished gold plated surfaces beautifully complement the luminous opal, creating an appearance that is both sophisticated and visually captivating.
The cap secures firmly to the barrel via a friction fit and may be posted while writing if desired. The pen displays excellent proportions and balance, measuring approximately 5 1/2 inches capped, 6 1/4 inches posted, and weighing 1.54 ounces. In hand, it offers the substantial feel expected of a premium writing instrument while remaining comfortable for extended writing sessions.
This LeBoeuf utilizes a cartridge/converter filling system, providing the convenience of modern fountain pen operation while allowing the use of bottled inks through the supplied converter. The converter has been tested with water and functions exactly as designed.
Fitted with an 18K gold Fine nib, the nib measures approximately .60mm when checked with digital calipers. Known for their smooth writing characteristics and dependable ink flow, LeBoeuf's gold nibs were designed to provide a refined writing experience suitable for both collectors and everyday writers. This nib has never been inked or dip tested.
Most importantly, this example remains in true New Old Stock condition and has never been inked. The nib, feed, converter, cap, and barrel remain in pristine collector-grade condition. There are no dents, dings, cracks, repairs, plating loss, or signs of use. The top of the clip is stamped "Germany." The gold-plated finish remains bright and beautifully preserved, and the opal jewel remains flawless, displaying vibrant flashes of color when viewed under light.
Today, 1990s LeBoeuf fountain pens have become increasingly difficult to locate, particularly in untouched condition. Many were purchased for use rather than preservation, making genuine Never Inked examples increasingly scarce. Their combination of precious metal construction, distinctive styling, and solid gold nibs continues to attract collectors seeking something outside the mainstream offerings of larger pen manufacturers.
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a beautiful LeBoeuf fountain pen in untouched collector-grade condition—combining luxurious materials, elegant design, and an 18K gold nib into a writing instrument equally suited for display or future enjoyment.
A stunning and increasingly elusive LeBoeuf fountain pen, preserved exactly as collectors hope to find one.
