Hi All
I have managed to get my hands on a red Ferrari FP by Artena. Unfortunately the front section (that takes the nib and screws onto the barrel) is cracked, leaking ink.
Despite some surfing I was unable to locate any Artena company making pens.
Can anyone help with either Artena contacts or another frontsection?
Regards
Mike

I have an Artena Ferrari FP, mine came in a metal pen case shaped like the car...but I can't help you... I think I read somewhere that an Italian company makes Artena, but I could be wrong. The only place I ever found any information at all was some website that sold official Ferrari-branded products. It had a picture and a brief description, but no manufacturer info.
good luck!

Couple of years ago I bought my wife a creeks & creeks fountainpen. Yes another one of those no information is available for....
Anyway, the front section and nib is a perfect fit. The nib is not the same by a long way, but after examination I a willing to wager that the 2 pens (frontsection at least) are made by the same company.
So, anyone with a bit of information on creeks & creeks?

Mike, have you considered contacting one of the many nibmeisters here and see if they could repair your leak?
I can feel for you on finding your pen that you have been seeking and to have it have a fault can be a bit bitter. Besides the leak, how do you like it?

Very much like the Ferrari Carbon Fibre pen in the Review archive. The nib is the same. The pen is let down by the nib.
The rest seems good, rich and red.
I will see if I get something from Stypen.
