DELTA MAASAI

[Jopen]

This is the last Delta Indigenous People to be added to my small collection and at the same time it ws the first IPSeries type produced. The series started in 2003 and was a combination in design and function that has been present in all the series produced till the recent INDIOS (still waiting for mine to arrive). When seen on web stores it may appear strange in form and colours do not show well, but "in person" it is a spectacular pen that has been designed to be practical and usable.

Nice review, Jose. (Guess the Maasai people didn't like green!) The only one of the Indigenous People series I've seen in person is the Native American, which is quite pretty and colorful, also.

 

Thanks for the review,

Ann

Thanks Jopen,

Delta isn't heavily marketed here, so it's great having a Delta aficiando to show us these gorgeous pens.

Unlike some brands that basically use the same pen, make minimal superficial changes and

call it a limited edition, Delta's look unique. I love that effort.

I've only seen one Delta pen up close, the Vatican Jubliee, and it's one of the most

beautiful pens i've ever seen.

 

The Masai do love their reds, especially with stripes and cross hatch designs.

Yes... I know they are not the only manufacturer that makes major changes or even completely new designs every time they launch a new LE, but what really surprises me is that almost all of the designs seem to have quite a great deal of very well done artistic work that at the same time has 100% sense and is absolutely functional. The result is crafted to highest standards and at the same time works flawlessly on almost every pen crafted. All that for a fraction of the price of other much more known makers that are not able to maintain this high level of craftmanship but rely on more brilliant bells that do not write consistently as well as Delta FP's. The first one I had inmy hand was a Nazareth, the seller dipped it for me and the experience I had was indescriptible. Yes I was much more newbie than now, I had only experiences with Parker, Sheaffer, Pelikan, MB, G v Faber Castell and a few others, and by then, ny highest was on MB and GFC which were the smooothest, but Delta was Different in all ways, II just could not believe that this could exist. Now I'm hooked with Delta I really love the work they do and it is not difficult to perceive the charge of passion they put on their pens...
