Visconti Voyager Platinum Arc Limited Edition

[4lex]

Hi, I am looking for some advice on Visconti Voyager Platinum Arc fountain pen. As far as I was able to find out it was limited edition of 35 pens made from old 1930s celluloid stock, nib is 18ct. They are black grey and they come in a numbered presentation box. I can't find more about it. I know there was a lot of different Voyagers and I really like this one, my only concern is that it is in very understated grey and I may have difficulty to sell it on if I eventually decide to do so. Does anyone knows what was RRP for this pen? I have an opportunity to get a mint one for $350, is this a fair price?

 

Any help will be appreciated

Wow, beautiful pen I was not aware of.

 

Of course you must be aware of this one on auction, about to end:

According to these records one fetched a quite high premium in an auction a few years ago:

Even 350 does not seem such a bad deal. Go for it!

Offer $300 and see what happens. I agree $350 is not bad especially if you really like this pen and it is in good shape.

 

Don't worry about resale. The value will not fall to 0, but certainly don't count on this pen to be an investment with a positive return.

Ended up at 277 plus shipping on ebay.

Thanks to all, that was very useful

Once in a while a great pen comes into play and a very good price. The pen listed for more than $800 when it was first introduced. Only 35 were built. I'm glad I got it!
