Product Description
Type Fountain pen with piston filling system in original packaging and box
Product Name Homo Sapiens Steel Age -- this is the oversize version, not the smaller "midi." The "age" series means that the pen is made of lava resin and each age specifies the trim material.
Manufacturer and Year Visconti Pen Company, Italy -- this is a current model.
Length 5-3/4"
Filling System Piston filling system aka "Power Filler". We tested it and it works well.
Color Black basaltic lava with shiny steel trim. This material has some interesting characteristics: flame-proof, very hard and almost unbreakable, moisture absorbing. It has a less than perfect finish caused by air pockets created during the material formation.
Nib 23k palladium "Firenze" fine nib. It is made of solid 23k palladium and writes very softly. Please be careful as these nibs are quite easy to spring.
Condition Near mint with light usage only. No cracks, chips, or scratches.
