Going through unpacked boxes from my 2004 move from California to Florida I found some amazing Italian pens, most of which are NOS and all of which are in original boxes. Here is a list (and I know there are more in boxes somewhere in the house):

Marlen (Valenquez is the model I believe). SS cap. Body looks like both marble and briarwood.
Delta Luxus - nice red resin pen with SS cap, and a Dolce Vita small size
Aurora - Optima Blue, Optima black with matching ballpoint.
Omas - black Milord and Full size Paragon with SS cap
Ancora - a beautiful brown resin about half the size of a Perla
Visconte You and Me set in Blue celluloid

When the shock clears away I may be posting them in the market section - well, not all of them

Mike,

'Better than finding a $20 in your pocket you forgot was there!!!

Indeed it is. I recently sold a solid sterling silver Optima (another recent find) and am toying with the idea of either keeping the Omas with SS cap or selling that too. The pens that are touching me, though, are the Ancora (I always had a spft spot for those) and the blue Optima - not that it is blue, but because it has a B nib, which I like.

Your avatar mentions "From: southeast of Rome, southwest of Athens, north of Cairo, and "ITP" ... are you in Calabria? Had to ask because that is where my family is from.

I'm a B/stub lover, so keep me in mind when you're ready to offload.

Location?

Southeast of Rome, GA

Southwest of Athens, GA

North of Cario, GA

and "Inside The Perimeter" (I-285 in Atlanta)

Thanks for asking; didn't mean to mislead. BTW, I LOVE the Moore L-92 I got from you a couple of months ago.

Should be in a day or so. I am at a loss regarding asking prices right now, but will be researching tomorrow.

Slapping forehead. Yeah, I believe I managed to get that to you the next business day (or was it two?) I remember sending it before you paid because it was Saturday and I needed to rush to the PO to get it sent. The Moore is a NICE pen

You sent pen on Saturday AM, I received on Monday. [walks around room still scratching head in amazement]

Is the Ancora new or vintage? I didn't know they made a small model in recent production. Got a pic?

New. I am in the process f photographing them. I'll post pics as soon as I can. It is like a small Perla though. Same bands, etc.

Are those pens you already had and you forgot?, or did you find them in the moving?

I'd like to know about the milords.

I knew I had them ... wel, I had a vague idea as to what I had (and there are a bunch more somewhere in a box). Since it was raining all week I decided to unpack some boxes and, voila!, pens! The Milord is standard black, 12-sided and M nib. The large Paragon is black with sterling silver cap.
