One more incoming! Xezo maestro.

Here's the latest incoming pen. This was a gift from my parents. Honestly I had never heard of the company before. After doing some research, I found they are made in Germany. The guy who owns the company is Italian and they're based in Texas. The company was formed in 2001. Kind of an interesting mix. The body is solid brass with sea shell inlay on the body and cap. All the metal work is clear coated 18kt yellow gold plate. It seems all of the companies pens are limited to around 500 pieces. It really is a spectacular pen to look at. It kind of puts everything in my collection in the dirt for initial "wow" factor. I believe the nib is a Schmidt nib and it writes very well. It's a fine in plated steel so no real line variation but it never skips and is dead smooth. I've done no work to it. It's so over the top in "wow" factor that I had to put it away while at work the other day since I spent most of the time just starring at my pen. Build quality is ok. I had to break the threads in on the body to cap and posting the cap wore the clearcoat off the finial. Xezo is sending me a free replacement finial. I'm going to need to grind some of the brass on the ID of the cap to prevent reoccurance. I really like this pen. It also came with 4 refills and a leather pen pouch. Here's some pics.

Thank you Sir. I should have some additional incoming posts next week and then a week or so later with any luck. I have an Omas Paragon Noir coming Monday. Could be Tuesday if I have to go pick the pen up. I have one of the last batch of Visconti Michelangelo's with a 14kt nib and rose bronze trim on order. I really hope that order comes through. I love that 14kt nib. That should be placed on Monday with Visconti. I'll be sure to put up some pics when they come through

Update on this. I ordered a second one back in June for my Dad's birthday today. My parents got me one so I returned the favor for my Dad. My Mom could care less about pens lol. Xezo sent me SN# 001 for 2016! I just realized this tonight when I looked out of curiosity. Low and behold freakin 001 of 500. Couldn't believe it!
