Product Description
Type Limited Edition Fountain Pen, #131 of 911.
Product Name Nettuna Superba
Manufacturer and Year Stipula, Italy (1996). We understand the Nettuna name was later bought out by Delta, but this is the first "revival" and the pen is very high quality.
Length 5-1/4"
Filling System Unusual filling system. The pen works as a button filler, with a blind cap that allows access to the button filling system. If you open the pen up by unscrewing the barrel, you see that the filling system screws onto the back of the section. This can be removed in order to use a traditional converter. (Not included.) The button filling system works fine.
Color Lovely green marbled celluloid with gold plated trim.
Nib 18k medium nib with some feeling of softness, but no flex.
Condition Like new! Signs of usage only, it is in near mint condition. No cracks, scratches or chips, no wear to the gold plated trim. We understand that some of these Superbas had a problem with the gold plating and some owners report imperfections and flaking. We examined the gold trim very closely and it looks great to us, despite some tarnish along the edges of the bands.
In original box, but lacking the outer cardboard box, converter and the paperwork .
