Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age


Kuscer

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I'm probably going to purchase one in the next few weeks but I have never owned a Visconti and I was wondering if anyone here could tell me if I can refill it with standard international European cartridges. Thanks!

Kind regards,

Dingan

All Homo Sapiens pens are self filler, you can only fill from a bottle. The Maxi Bronze age and Crystal are powerfillers (i.e vac), all the rest are "piston" (I put piston in quotes because these are more like captive converters).

The actual Oversize Steel Age is a power filler, too. You can actually get both versions - I do not know, if they will do it in parallel or if this is old / new version...

There are no facts, there is no truth - just a data to be manipulated...

Only a small batch were powerfillers. By and large they are piston. I bought one not realizing that they had switched to piston.

I thought only the midi and the steel maxi was a pistonfiller and the bronze maxi is still powerfillers (or something like that)?

Yes. The comment was about the Steel Maxi.

Sure with this? I thought it was viceversal...

 

In this case: good to know - I will try to get the power filler Steel Age Oversize asap... :wub:

Yes, it's true. Good luck trying to find a power filler Steel Age, I don't know how you would recognize one but I know for sure that none of the usual dealers have any available.

I don't get why they're made of ''sicillian volcano lava''

that makes them the rather expensive pens they are

if you ask me it could all be less posh and less expensive with less lava :P

Sure, if they would make a gold pen from steel with some gold coloured paint it would be cheaper as well...

 

Why not buy a Bic stick? still cheaper. (can't go much lower, unless you go for free hand-outs....)

normally the biggest model is a vac filler

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
