The Universal Scolastica is an italian fountain pen mainly made for students. You can see mine in my youtube channel but my rewiew is in italian. If you do not speak italian, you can just watch the pen.

I am fluent in French, but unfortunately my knowledge of Italian is very limited.

I have three different versions of what I take to be this make of pen. They are my favorite pens. The nib is semi-flex, and they are piston fillers. With a little tinkering it is a smooth, wet writer, as good as the very best fountain pens

The first version, probably from the 50s, has a gold-plated open nib, a plsatic barrel and section, and a gold-plated aluminium cap. They come in black, red, yellow, blue, dark blue and green. The pens have no name, but the caps are marked MADE IN ITALY 111

The second version, Studio 65, IS marked Universal, and is similar to the first version, but with a plastic cap. Same great nib, but not gold-plated, altho it reads 'gold-plated'. In same colors, but also white and light green.

The third version has a hooded nib, and a slightly bigger barrel.

In my opinion, the world's best pen. I got them off of ebay in boxes of a dozen.
