Visconti, anyone?
I'm a fan. Also love Delta bottle-fill models. Both Visconti and Delta share one characteristic I have found very comforting: When you take them out of your pocket after not having used them for weeks . . . . They still flow immediately and to perfection.

Visconti Homo Sapiens is my go-to daily writer.
As someone who seems to know his pens -- do yourself a favor, and try out a Pilot 823 Custom -- it'll surprise you. |

LandLawMan, you have some mighty fine pens there and the experience of writing with a Fountain pen has no equal. With all the choices in ink colors available to pick from you will surely not run out of ink before running out of ideas!!!

I bought my wife a Visconti FP several years ago. Excellent writer. I believe the tip is steel and writes great. I would like to pick one up for myself some day.

I just bought a Visconti Rembrandt and have been so impressed that I think I will be going back to get the "Wall Street". My dad bought my mom a Van Gogh edition and she has since become a Visconti collector as well. Great pens!

Just added matching serial numbered Queen's Jubilee fountain pens. Shame I don't have anything on a jubilee bracelet.
A little bit of gold, a little bit of steel. |

Amazing gold flecks, and a torrent of blue, purple and violet.

These two Dolce Vita fountain pens are not a limited production. But the two "Lex" fountain pens are going to be a prized and rare possession one day. |

I haven't tried Visvonti personally, but have seen many great reviews. The Opera Crystal and the Queen's Jubilee are both pens I wouldn't mind taking a closer look at. Very nice collection.

Visconti with Visconti
Watch: Swiss movement, bold Italian styling flare and pizzaz. 100% Bronze case & bracelet. It's the Bulldog of watches: So ugly, it's cool.
Pen: Visconti Bronze features on a fountain pen made of lava. |

+1 Visconti Homo Sapein is also my daily writer. The most smoothest nib, it hard to rotate out. |

I have had several Viscounts FPs and could never get used to the clip. Sold them all.
The are truly a world class FP, but must be targeted to a certain kind of user. They are beautiful!
