Visconti Voyager Platinum Arc Limited Edition


4lex

Recommended Posts

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.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

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!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
