Hi folks, I wanted to add a shout out for Quill Stilografiche in Turin. Whenever I'm in Italy I like to explore the local pen shops, flea markets and any local manufacturers. In Turin I went to the Aurora factory (another post), picked up a few Aurora at the Saturday Balon, and found the...

So Im looking at it, and its marked 000/360 PROTO. So now based on how expensive these pens are, Im wondering if I should just...

Yesterday, I received from Grifos, the Italian pen maker based near Turin, Italy, the Grifos Masonic Square & Compasses (the “Masonic”) fountain pen with a medium gold-plated nib. I inked it up with Waterman Purple ink, began writing with it the same day, and have written with it today. First, here...

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... -

Not long before Christmas I noticed the following item on The Pelikan's Perch, and decided to invest. I'm glad I did - the M251 is a smaching little pen and as the excellent TPP post describes it in far greater detail than my propose humble efforts could produce, I'll leave it to him! However, I tho...

Hey folks, got a conundrum here. I got this older Delta fountain pen in today and I haven't been able to find any information online. The only thing I know is that it uses the older Delta handscript logo, meaning it's likely pre-2000, but that's all I've got. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I recently acquired a beautiful little safety filler with 18 k gold overlay made by "The King" in Turino. The nib's imprint reads "RADIUS / SUPERIOR / 585". I did some research and found indications that they had ties with OMAS in Bologna but there are contradicting statements about what these relat...

I tried to post an ad in the classifieds the other day, but it kept insisting I needed to attach a photo, which I did, several times. Very frustrating. So, I have tried the more appropriate forum without success, and now I am going to try this. I have an Ancora Perla (red) with silver colored [...

So everyone knows about the changes with Visconti this year, but do you feel like they are on the right track with some of the actual pen changes too? The new Il Magnifico is super weighty and just seems to be a much more solid/sturdy pen all around (solid sterling silver cap, Italian red marble...

A while ago, I picked up an Aurora button filler on Ebay for a good price (it came from Romania if that's relevant), which was listed as a Selene, though it quickly became clear it wasn't. It is a huge button filler -almost 17cm from top of jewel to tip of nib, very thick, and with a good heft to...

Hello, Can anyone please advise from experience if the Montegrappa Exta 1930 Broad nib is stubbish? I am aware that their medium nib runs slightly narrow, but I don't want a greater line width if it is devoid of character. Any advice or writing samples would be much appreciated

Just stumbled across this. I'm speechless.

I have a lovely OMAS Extra 556/S with a (presumably) rolled gold cap and black barrel with striped ink window. It has a wonderful fairly flexible fine nib with a heart shaped breather hole which is embossed such that it could be from the 1940s according to this link https://www.fountainpennetwork.co...

Aurora inks come in three basic colors: blue, blue black and black. The bottle holds 45 ml of ink. Inks can be also bought in cartridges. Aurora Blue is one of most recommended blue inks. I can see why as it's a problem free, low-maintenance ink. The thing is I find it mind-numbingly boring. So, e...

I recently purchased this pen from a person in Italy; she said it was a custom made celluloid pen (no brand) from the 2000's, but I was wondering if someone can recognize the nib manufacturer. The pen was made in Turin (Settimo Torinese, to be precise). Thanks for your help.

A video has been posted on the Aurora Pens channel that makes for interesting viewing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKsuKi8Z1KY I was surprised to hear that Europe comprises just 20% of Aurora's market, with the rest of their output going to the East and to America. Posting the link here a...
