Full Version: Visconti Skeleton help...

So about 4 or 5 months ago, I broke my Skeleton. After procrastinating for quite some time I decided to send it in for repair. After almost a month, I decided to check up and was told that it had to be sent to Italy and could be a few more weeks. No biggie, I hadn't been using it for months anyway. So today, I got a package in the mail. It was my pen, or so I thought... It was great that they fixed with out any cost to me, but when I took it out of the packaging it was not my pen. It looked brand new, still... Sounds good right? Well I am pretty sure that this pen is smaller than my old one. I'm not 100% because I had not used in such a long time, but I would say 99% sure. Its not only the length, which seems a little out of whack but its the girth.
Can someone help me here? Is there different sizes? Am I "tripping"?
Cheers!

Well there are only two versions of the Skeleton to my knowledge. One is the high vacuum double reservoir system and the other is cartridge/converter. IMHO you gotta have one or the other.

Unless you had a Ripple, the Skeletons are all the same size. Tho' they can seem smaller than you remembered if you write with one of the larger Viscontis in the interim. I've got a black and a demo and they're the same. The LE Ripple is bigger, but you wouldn't mistake that luscious blue for the silver ones.

Well maybe that is the case, but I swear it was bigger. Not as big as my ripple, but not this small. Just for comparison sake this is 13cm capped and 5cm around the body and 5.75cm on cap...
I also remember the converter not going all the way thru the body...
