Having recently purchased a NOS Senior 60 I am amazed that so little is ever mentioned about Columbus. This is a truly excellent pen with a suberb flexible fine nib that writes nicely, the whole pen is well made and much nicer to use than a none too satisfactory Omas 555S. So far, it has been utterly reliable.
Columbus must be the most under rated pen maker from Italy, however I know nothing about their current products
Full Version: Columbus Pens
They have a beautiful pen in Sterling Silver called the Extrema.
They also made a most excellent series of celluloid pens with Yamazaki? nibs called Academia. My jade green Academia's barrel smells like camphor.
They are specialized in sterling silver pens, indeed.
Their catalog shows dozens of silver models, and the're going to produce a special Limited Edition for their 80th Anniversary. It's an extra-large, extra-heavy pen, all sterling silver with a nice square decoration and laquered accents. I think it will be ready next year.
