Hey there, Wondering if anyone has any additional info about this Omas Ogiva Blue Urushi - I'm fairly certain it's from the early 2000's, but don't know much else. There looks to be a green one listed on eBay, but there's not much info in the listing either. It looks like there a...

The penco 53 junior is the smaller version of the 53. It's a piston filler. The section is screwed on the barrel wit a LEFT-HANDED thread (righty loosey, lefty tighty). The material is also prone to shrinking, so you'll have to apply dry heat abundantly both during disassembly and assembly (als...

SCRIBO FEEL I should begin this review by acknowledging the elephant in the room; I was (and still am) an Omas fan. There are two aspects of Omas that I really enjoy. The first, most practical, is the nibs. They are truly in a class of their own, right up with custom work I’ve had the pleasure to...

This is my first review, so if you can think of any part of the pen I did not cover then please ask questions below. This is the beautiful Magnifica Amalfi from Delta. The pen has a 14k extra-fine nib and comes with a gorgeous olive wood barrel with prominent grain. The rest of the pen is cons...

Normally I’m a fan of italian fountain pens. I started off with a Pelikan M800 though – the benchmark of a good, full-size piston filler. I was very satisfied with the Pelikan, it seemed to be everything I ever wanted from a fountain pen, I would never need another one. But later, after falling in...

Necessity Ignites Invention: A Review Of The Filcao Atlantica
bobje posted a topic in Fountain Pen Reviews
FILCAO Atlantica, a Chilton-type pneumatic filler I'll save you some time. The FILCAO Atlantica writes smoothly, feels balanced in the hand, and is carefully constructed from an elegant material. These are fine qualities, but they aren't the reason you should write with one, if you get the oppor... -
At the risk of sounding like SBRE Brown...I'm interested in a written Shootout of the Italians! I'd like to hear from people who have tried both the Montegrappa pens (especially the Elmo) and the Leonardo Officina Furore, both with steel nibs. I am keen to give myself incentive to finish a book prop...

I just got this handsome pleasant Italian celluloid pen from Rick Propas aka The PENguin. He couldn't find any information on it and of course neither could I. But it is an interesting pen. Rick placed it somewhere in the 1930's, a second-tier pen of what appears to be a very obscure make. It's a le...

Hi all, Here is a quick look at the Leonardo Momento Zero Hawaii. A shout out to Roy from Izod Ink for the quick delivery and beautiful packaging. (The pen came wrapped with a hand written note from Roy. Appreciate the personal touch!) This pen very beautifully captures the feeling of being on...

A Cheap Italian Pen From The Late 80's; The Wilson Super Smooth
basterma posted a topic in Italy - Europe
This is a test for posting images from behind the Great Firewall in China. So here is a pen from the bottom of the Italian Barrel. It was purchased in Egypt in 1989, and is one of the smoothest writers in my collection. It has no tipping. The nib is rolled, so the tines are folded over to touch... -
Shot In The Dark Old Lamy Id? (1930S–1940S) - First Post, Sorry If I Dun Goofed
tbuddy posted a topic in Lamy
First time poster. Longish time lurker. Picked up an old Lamy a bit ago and was hoping maybe someone with some vintage Lamy knowledge could lend some insight. Ran into a gentleman by the name of Osman at the Ohio Pen Show who said it was Italian. He fixed the sac for button filling and thought it...

Visconti - My Pen System .... Bumfuzzeled Strangeness!
Stephen Lee Ogden posted a topic in Italy - Europe
I've got the itch to customize my Van Gogh Shoes FP and bought an Onyx jewel. Logo MPS comes right off, no problem. New jewel goes right on ... wait .... problem. In the middle of the magnet is a raised polymer dot that seems to go through the magnet. Since the new onyx magnet is smooth / flat on...

Heres an interesting little thing which I snagged on eBay, a Brevetto 599/600, possibly an OMAS pen although I cant be sure. Perhaps it looks familiar? I doubt its a coincidence, whomever designed it seems to have drawn their inspiration from the iconic Parker 51, if it were an OMAS, it wouldnt be...

Delta Colosseum Problems - Pen Won't Write After Couple Minutes
mol_lon posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
I recently bought a Delta Colosseum with lever filling system. I had to return the pen because the pen wouldn't write. I cleaned the pen with water. I submerged the pen in ink and pulled out the lever. Kept the pen submerged to allow the pen to fill up. I cleaned the nib and started to write with it... -

A reputable guy says it's a limited edition Italian pen for the 50th anniversary of movies. His words not mine. I like it but want to know more about it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I was planning to write a review of my now 3 week old Signum Nova. However, I loaned it to a friend of mine and he reviewed it on his blog. I certainly could not do a better review, so I'm posting it here. http://www.analogexpressions.com/ What i can do, is tell you that I like the pen so well...

So, I acquired this nice looking pen. To my surprise, I am very satisfied with the way it writes. It is very smooth. The pen is on the heavy side, since it is made of some kind of metal (cant really identify the metal). Anyway, the reason I turned to the help of the fountain pen network is to identi...

The Filcao Roxi: Underdogs, Natalia Ginzburg, And Settimo Torinese
bobje posted a topic in Fountain Pen Reviews
Americans love underdogs. We revel in stories about how the British had their hind-ends handed to them in the American Revolutionary War, 240 years ago, and it was us – poorly clothed mongrels – who did the handing. This idea of underestimated integrity comes to me when I consider two unlikely subje...
