Is it me! Or is there an issue with Visconti manufacturing in regards to consistency of products or quality assurance of products. I brought a Visconti Homo Sapiens around end of March beginning of April from a reputable online retailer in the UK. Which had issues with flow would write then stop. I sent this pen back which the retailer replaced ASAP. Once I received this pen I flushed pen with normal water out of mineral water bottle, then loaded pen with ink. 2 days later went to use pen took off cap to find all the ink has leaked out. Inside cap all over clothes and floor. The retailer replaced pen for another, along side which I order another pen. Both shipped from Italy, I inked both pens with Herbin Perle Noire. Pulled both boxes out yesterday to use as pens are stored in original boxes in bag as I haven't found a case yet. One of the pens ink completely leaked out again clothes messed. The other pen the clip has come loose from cap which is allowing major movement of clip left to right. where as the pen that leaked no issues with clip. Both Visconti cases 6 pen holder have been faulty. First one zip had already split from leather when it turned up in post. Second case dividers did not straight down in case but heavily slanted to right ad heading into case. Am I right in starting to loose faith with Visconti as a pen manufacturer of standard? Any views? Thanks
