M point.Screw cap.

The top of the cap features a silver angel, which dominates this fountain pen. It is a rather unusual limited edition.

Piston loading.No box.Measurements: 14 cm. length, 17 mm. diameter.The Limited Edition Visconti Skeleton Titanium, as is logical, is made of titanium which is worked by making the necessary cuts to reveal a kind of skeleton formed by the letters "V", corresponding to Visconti and which is superimposed on the transparent acrylic material, which allows us to appreciate both the nib and the charging system.On the cap we find a crown with a metal button with the anagram of the brand, and placed on titanium; the clip is the normal and usual of the house also made of titanium and the surface of the cap worked as we have explained; at the bottom, below the clip, we find the engravings "TITANIUM" and "SKELETON" and on the back, "VISCONTI" and the number of nibs on the total of the edition.On the barrel we have another titanium sleeve with the same decoration mentioned above, on a transparent acrylic bar, which when loaded with ink reveals the amount of ink available for writing; a solid titanium butt and on the nozzle, again made of titanium, we have a small translucent window crossed by several "V"; the nib is made of 18K gold, The nib is made of the brand's customary 18K gold, two-tone, by selective application of a platinum plating, where in addition to the decoration we find "VISCONTI", "18K - 750" and "FIRENZE"; the loading system is the so-called Double Reservoir Power Filler, which according to Visconti, provides a charge seven times greater than that of a cartridge.

VISCONTI "WALL STREET" FOUNTAIN PEN.Blue and silver striped celluloid barrel with silver ornamentation and details.Limited edition. Exemplary 0919/4000.Two-tone 18 kts gold nib. F point.Screw cap. Loading by cartridge.No box. It presents deterioration in the metallic zones.Measurements: 14.4 cm. length, 12 mm. diameter.This fountain pen is highly symbolic not only in its shape (circle/square) or in the number 4 (the 4 elements), but also in its material, reminiscent of the wall and the Manhattan skyline at night, from which its name is inspired: Wall Street, another symbol, the centre of world finance in modern globalisation. Visconti claims that in fact it is not round like any other pen and it is not square, which would make it unergonomic. It is simply unique like all things that yearn for perfection. The perfect proportion of the volumes of the body cap and the essential and elegant shape of the clip and its perfect mechanism complete this three-dimensional masterpiece. The Wall Street model, inspired by the financial capital of the world, features an innovative square profile design, with beautiful striped celluloid colours reminiscent of the famous Parker Vacumatic. A pen that you can stare at for hours without getting bored, this one comes equipped with a 14K M gold point that offers plenty of flexibility when writing.

DELTA "DOLCE VITA" FOUNTAIN PEN, 1996.Black and orange resin barrel with gold details.Two-tone 18 Kts gold nib, M-point.Limited edition. Exemplary 21/70.Screw cap. Cartridge loading.No box.Measurements: 14 cm length; 18,77 mm diameter.Delta is a small Italian company founded in Naples in 1982. It was, along with Stipula and Visconti, an attempt to revive the old glories of the classic Italian fountain pen. None of the three had the history of Omas, Aurora, Montegrappa or Ancora, but their model was the great successes of the turn of the century and, above all, the use of absolutely classic materials and systems.On the mechanical side, Delta's hallmark was the use of the side lever and the rubber inner tank as the standard loading system for its limited editions. His models evoked great cultural moments in the history of Italy, which is like saying the history of art. He soon opted for the production of special commemorative editions that not only referred to cultural or historical aspects but also to current events such as the models produced to commemorate the G7 in 1994 or the Jubilaeum to commemorate the year 2000.La Dolce Vita has become Delta's main hallmark. The initial collection has grown to become the backbone of the Neapolitan company's production, which continues to produce limited editions, but in the background.

DELTA "DOLCE VITA" FOUNTAIN PEN.Black and yellow resin barrel.Bicolour 18 Kts gold nib, F tip.Limited edition.No box.Measurements: 14 cm length; 10,77 mm diameter.Delta is a small Italian company founded in Naples in 1982. It was, along with Stipula and Visconti, an attempt to revive the old glories of the classic Italian fountain pen. None of the three had the history of Omas, Aurora, Montegrappa or Ancora, but their model was the great successes of the turn of the century and, above all, the use of absolutely classic materials and systems.On the mechanical side, Delta's hallmark was the use of the side lever and the rubber inner tank as the standard loading system for its limited editions. His models evoked great cultural moments in the history of Italy, which is like saying the history of art. He soon opted for the production of commemorative special editions that not only referred to cultural or historical aspects but also to current events such as the models produced to commemorate the G7 in 1994 or the Jubilaeum to commemorate the year 2000.La Dolce Vita has become Delta's main hallmark. The initial collection has grown to become the backbone of the Neapolitan company's production, which continues to produce limited editions, but in the background.
