This pen does have a resemblance to the Aleph, especially the nib and transparent feed, and if writes like the Aleph then it's a worthwhile buy.

 

I suppose it also uses a "captured converter" too, just like the Aleph and most other "piston filler" Marlens?

The factory tells me it's a real piston.

I have placed my deposit , and hoping for number 55.

It is a pity that the European buyers can't have pens shipped direct from Italy

Yes, isn't it (though realise it would be v difficult to do). But that's why I'm waiting to hear the price before ordering, as all pens bought from outside the EU seem to get caught for Customs charges these days, and with the Royal Mail handling charge it can add 50% to the price of your pen.

How did you place your deposit. By cheque? I can't see any addresses or easier way to pay such as paypal or credit cards and so forth.

Maybe I'm just having a "senior moment" !

I believe Tryphon has been at the Long Island Pen Show. May have delayed responding to private messages.

And finally I got a reply, thank you Tryphon!

 

Still processing some final details for a shipment to my country... (much ironically, the pen is fully made in Europe, then travels to the USA, then again back to Europe, but with a lot of unnecessarily added taxes and fees).

 

Last request: my number should be #52, I only hope you FPNers won´t take it in the meantime, before I complete my reserve!

After much thought, I have finally made up my mind, and unfortunately I must disregard the purchase of this pen: the price of shipment to my country is too high, and besides the cost of Customs taxes makes the grand total 50% more expensive (!!!!) than a shipment to the USA.

 

And what really hurts is the fact that the pen is made here in Europe.

 

I wish you good luck, Giovanni and future owners of this green gem. I mean you USA residents and you who wish to spend anyway that amount, which would be enough for a solid gold nib pen of similar quality.

      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
