Product Description
Type Modern luxury fountain pen
Product Name Dolce Vita Fusion Oro Collection. The cap is numbered 0259 (for some of their collections, Delta numbered the pens serially).
Manufacturer and Year Delta, Italy -- circa 2013.
Length 5-9/16" long, we consider this a mid-size pen, it's not as fat as the standard Dolce Vitas.
Filling System Uses Delta's threaded converter, one of which is installed in the pen.
Color Oro - a delightful bright golden orange. Rhodium-plated trim.
Nib Broad "Fusion" nib. Delta designed this technology that fuses an 18k gold plate on the top of a steel nib, which is supposed to heat the ink and make it flow more smoothly.
Condition Excellent condition, in box with papers. There is light handwear and microscratching. The trim is perfect, with no scratching, polishing marks, or brassing or plating wear. The pen ships in a Delta box with paperwork; booklet is signed with original sales date of Feb 2014. No cracks or chips.
Note: this is an unusual model - the Dolcevita Oro pens generally have flatter ends, but this one has rounded ends. We see the rounded ends in their Fusion 82 collection (and the cap, booklet, and box label all indicate "Fusion" though not 82), but this golden orange color is not documented.
