Well I just received my 2 new limited edition pens yesterday from my favorite Italian website. I was supposed to be taking a break from buying pens.....well you know how that goes :D The 2 pens I bought are The Delta Alfa Romeo limited edition # 1025/1750, and the Delta Rediscover Pompei special edition # 269. Both pens are piston filled. The Alfa Romeo has a medium 18K nib, and the Pompei has a broad 14K nib. Both pens wrote very smooth with no issues right out of the box. they are fairly large pens, similar to the medium DolceVita. I posted a picture next to my other pens for comparison from left to right. Delta DolceVita medium, Delta Enrico Caruso limited edition, Delta Alfa Romeo, Delta Popmpei, Visconti Cosmos Voyager limited edition, Pelikan M1000, Fabre Castel E-motion, Waterman Carene. Ok I really need to take a break now from buying pens !!! my display box is full and I had to take some pens out :lticaptd:............So of course I bought a second display box.........sigh I am never gonna stop :crybaby:

I actually have a question if anyone knows, the Pompei pen is my first Delta piston pen that doesn't have a ratchet. Is that normal on some Delta pistons ? My other 3 pistons have it. The piston works fine was just wondering .

You can check with any AD or the Delta US distributor, Yafa, about whether the piston should ratchet. Is it the same size as the Roma Imperiale? It looks sorta like the same shape. #8 or #6 nib? Looks terrific.

Thank you!! I believe its a #6 nib. From looking at the stats of the Roma Imperiale they are very similar in size.

      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
