Product Description
Type Modern Fountain Pen
Product Name Tempio S17 (this should be close to the proper model name, though the S17 we see has a greek key and black end pieces). This is an obscure brand, but there's a very informative post on FPN about the brand.
Manufacturer and Year Cesare Emiliano, Italy -- Possibly mid-1990s
Length 5-1/2"
Filling System This takes international cartridges and converters. A piston converter is installed.
Color Sterling silver cap and barrel with burgundy marble barrel end piece, section, and cap and barrel jewels. Sterling hallmarks on cap and barrel (see photos). The cap and barrel are octagonal, with alternating panels of climbing ivy next to squiggly lines.
Nib Medium steel nib. It is a smooth writer. The nib is ornately detailed.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a heavy, uniquely crafted pen, that looks beautiful and elegant. The ivy and line patterning is all nicely intact. There is micro-scratching throughout the sterling. The burgundy marbled areas are lovely as are the jewels. The clip has scratching on the end and there are tiny scratch marks on the top edge of the clip band. All imprints are clear.
