Do you have Delta pens ?

[goodguy]

I started to like Delta pens after I saw the Dolce Vita OS.I knew I had to have it and about a year later I bought it.

Indeed a great pen that I love to love,a great writer and a beautiful pen.

 

The second Delta pen I got was the Israel 60 LE.This is probably the most eye catching pen I have.It actualy is an even better writer then the DVOS.Its nib feels even more responsive and the curvy body makes the writing experience better.Oh and the lever filler is a nice added bonus (the only issue is its small ink capacity).

 

Delta makes lots of other gorgeous pens and as far as I know they are fantastic writers.

 

Do you have Delta pens and what are the models.

I have 2 of them: Via Veneto (Red with gold trimming and med nib) and a Mini-trend that is hip and mod and a good kick around pen.

 

And the mini-trend I got in Lucca, Tuscany!

 

Great memories in a pen.

Wonderful pens you have there (and thanks for the link )

 

Won't be long before I get my first Delta. If there weren't such a big difference in pricing between the US and Europe I'd have at least one already.

 

Cheers,

It turns out that I like Delta pens very much. Thus far, I have five. A Dolce Vita O/S, a Dolce Vita "Soiree," a 365, an Isreal 50th LE, and a Bethlehem LE. Four of my Deltas have M nibs. The Soiree has a B nib as it appears Delta started using finer points on their pens sometime recently. I generally like italic or stub nibs, but my Delta nibs write so well from the factory that I hesitate to mess with them (to have them customized).

 

The sizes are also interesting. The O/S Dolce Vita is an artillery shell and I love it. The 365 and the two LE's are all slightly larger than a Pelikan M-1000, which is a size that I love. The Soiree is an odd duck. It is rather short, I suppose to facilitate carrying in a shirt pocket. But it has a wide diameter and a nice nib that is Pel M-800 or MB 146 sized. These sizes are not for everyone, I know, but they suit me very well.

 

All of my Deltas have written excellently out of the box. I have not had a lick of trouble with any of them.

 

(By the way, should this post not be in the Italian forum?)

As you know I have the 60th LE as well, and it's turning out to be an excellent writer. The line width of the F nib is PERFECT.

I have the Delta Dolce Vitae twin desk set. Always within reach. Smooth reliable nib. Handsome base. I use it every day.

I think a picture or two of your lovely pens is in order.

I only have one. Dolce Vita Medium filled with PR Chocolat and I've never had any trouble with it. Love it. Though I might buy the Stout version. Again.

If I wouldnt be so scared for the pen I would probably use it too.

But I'm a chicken

Aham ah picture please if posible too.

[vanyieck]

I have two. I have a blue Europa and a Animals Polar Bear both with medium nibs. They're nice enough but they don't rate as high as my Yard-o-led, Krones or Conway Stewart. To tell the truth I was considering getting rid of them.

[Ghost Plane]

I have a Delta Profili [red and silver] B nib

Passion [red, white stripe, black] B nib

Inuit LE B nib which I won on a lucky bid over Christmas.

 

They're nice pens, but I'd have to rate them behind my Yard O Led, Krone, Visconti and Marlen. Some of the B nibs are a little narrow for my preference and the pens are a hair too light for me, except for the Profili, which is too good a performer to ever part with.

Do you have Delta pens and what are the models.

 

Delta Inuit FP with a F nib. I like this pen. I find Delta pens a trifle thick for my small hands, so haven't bought any others at this point.

 

I had a Delta Alfa Romeo but sold it.

Ah a fountain pen and Alfa Romeo.Two for the price of one.

I must get me one of those someday.

 

[CharlieB]

Just the Dolcevita Oversize. It's a wonderful pen. The nib is huge.

[gylyf]

My only Delta is a doozy: the LE they did for the Moresi pen shop in a gorgeous blue and gold celluloid. The pen is lovely, even if the lever-filler isn't the most practical of filling methods. One thing to love about Delta: their LE's have ebonite feeds. Best,

Dolce Vita OS

Planet Ocean (blue)

Indios LE

Lugdunum LE

 

I have four Delta's and love them all. When I bought the Lugdunum LE in 97, I liked it so much that I put away my OMASes and did not buy another pen for about five years. All of mine are broad nibs, except for the Indios (OB). I agree with Ghost Plane -- the Delta broads run a smidge narrower than the broads of other Italian manufacturers. They are great pens. Would that they would come out with a piston filler. They do everything else right.
