Sorry guys for not publishing a while

I was hospitalized for a few weeks after some health problems. So I could not write anything for a while. Everything seems OK now, and I am full of energy again. I will start with writing again on one of my big passions: fountain pens, ink and notebooks. Some great fresh ideas crossed my mind. So I hope you will read again my blog with great enthusiasm.

Visconti Homo Sapiens (stub-nib)

Visconti (from Florence, Italy) made a beautiful pen out of really ancient materials, bronze, lava and palladium. They introduced the pen at the Philadelphia Pen show in january 2010.


Package

The package contains, the pen, a beautiful luxury leather-feel box, a booklet on Visconti, a impregnate cloth for cleaning the bronze parts. Inside the booklet is a DVD on Visconti and on how to use the fountain pen. It also contains a seal with the serial number (mine is CG0015945459).
