I've been waiting for this for a while... A fraction of costs to Steve's Gold dragon. Finally on the day when I'm sick at home, it arrived to cheer me up

Opening the package I found a wooden box. Opening the box I see:

3 pens with different celluloid colours.

18k gold medium nibs.

BarkMaster · 6 November 2009, 12:52 PM

What a nice pick-me-up!!!

2th Dr · 6 November 2009, 01:08 PM

Wow! That would make me feel better too! Congrats!

STEELINOX · 6 November 2009, 01:18 PM

Congratulations !

R1@160@alltimes · 6 November 2009, 01:20 PM

Big congrats!

Visconti is definately a grail....the bible collection is unbelievable. Get better man!

mck22 · 6 November 2009, 01:25 PM

wow very nice

shandy · 6 November 2009, 01:33 PM

That really is wonderful, I hope you have them inked up and are writing away!

Bisquitlips · 6 November 2009, 01:52 PM

What is the name of that Visconti Pontevecchio set?? I love that !

2careless · 6 November 2009, 04:53 PM

It is called Visconti Pontevecchio, made in 1995, it is a LE of 1345 sets. see:
http://www.visconti.it/museum/scheda.php?idelemento=75

Currently I'm trying to confirm that the info on the Visconti museum website is wrong, that the pens are all Cartridge/convertor fillers and not piston filler as noted in the website.

Lol-x · 6 November 2009, 04:57 PM

That is a great looking set for sure

Taffi Abernathy · 6 November 2009, 05:16 PM

Wow, for a pick-me-up that's even better than more cowbell. Those pens are absolutely gorgeous! How many pens do you own?

About 40 now.

Andad · 6 November 2009, 05:50 PM

Jeez, I hate you Kai.

They are stunning pens and excellent pix as usual.

Now I want some pens.

I NEED a pen.

Badly.

swatty · 6 November 2009, 06:05 PM

Looks like a great set Kai

Thanks Eddie

Earning your hate is a big compliment

Since you live in the sticks called Adelaide, they do have a good pen shop (rather unbelievable really) - 29 Adelaide Arcade, Adelaide. 08-8223 3725. I've yet to buy from them but from what I've heard, they are pretty knowledgeable.

BTW I'd gladly swap my pen collection with your Rolex collection

Deep Sea · 6 November 2009, 11:01 PM

Those aren't pens....they're art!

DSJ · 7 November 2009, 02:01 AM

Visconti's are my favorite pen. We got one for my father-in-law's 60th.

A belated Xmas present to myself

Chatterley Pen's Visconti Ripple - silver on black resin, with a 23k Palladium medium nib.
only 25 made for this colour/style combo.

It's a super smooth writer.

sunburst · 6 January 2010, 02:52 AM

Kai, congrats on the stunning looking set.

Shangas · 6 January 2010, 08:50 AM

Oooooh VERY NICE!! What kind of filling-system do they have?

Hi Shangas, good to see you here!

The Ripple has their "Double Reservoir Power Filler" - basically it's a plunger.
See the description here:
