Manufacturer and Year Visconti Pen Company, Italy -- 2014.
Length 5-13/16"
Filling System Piston filling system aka "Power Filler". We tested it and it works well.
Color "Acryloid" pen with non-hallmarked sterling trim. All silver colored components except for the piston rod are sterling. The piston rod is titanium. The cap, section, and blind cap are a semi-transparent green celluloid with brown ribbons. The barrel is clear acrylic with celluloid shavings in it.
Nib BROAD 23k solid palladium nib. Palladium nibs are thought to be softer writers than gold, hence why Visconti refers to it as a "Dreamtouch" nib. This is a very soft nib and the tines spread easily. Please be careful before trying to flex the nib, as palladium nibs can be "sprung" easily.
Condition New in Box with all paperwork. This is a brand new pen that's never been filled. We did flush it with water and check the nib but we feel confident calling it unused.
