Hey there everyone,

I'm new here, not a FP collector, but I inherited some of my uncles pens. Half of his collection was stolen, but I have been able to identify all but one of his remaining pens, and I'm hoping you could all help me.
It's a Signum, black with silver trim and the end and cap have "egg and dart" detailing. I seriously cannot find it anywhere(see pics). Any help would be so appreciated.
In addition to that, I have a visconti that has a small piece of metal that partially popped off. Is there a person in the states who can repair such a thing, or do I need to send it to Italy?

Thanks so much!

Hello and Welcome to FPN!! Glad to have you as a member!!

 

Can't help with the Signum, you may want to ask in the Italian Sub-Forum. If the part popped of the Visconti is on the very top it may be part of the personalization system and is a magnet that will go right back on.

I'm not sure about identifying the Signum, but can you post a photo of the Visconti? It might help identify the best fix for the problem.

Welcome, Munkipaws !

 

Which other pens did you rescue from your uncle's estate ? I hope you will be able to restore them service.

Hey thanks everyone!
I don't have a picture of the Visconti, it's actually with a relative and I'm supposed to pick it up next week. It's the 25th Anniversary Divine Proportion pen with the compass and crystal inkwell. It was never used, but unfortunately, my brother failed to properly pack it, so the pen popped out and tangled with the compass. It doesn't appear scratched at all, but one of the silver pieces that wraps around the pen cap has PARTIALLY popped off the cap. I'm guessing it's best to send it to Visconti for repair.

Sasha Royale, his full collection consisted of many Viscontis, a few Montegrappas, a few Omas', Marlins, Pelikans, Krone, Watermans, Rotrings, Parkers, Monteverde, and some others.
It was a great collection, but one of his "friends" helped themselves to one of his pen cases(among other stolen items).
I have already sold most of the other pens to help my grandmother with my uncles funeral expenses.
I still have the Divine Proportion Visconti, and a Krone Stingray LE Cognac Diamond. I have a few other's as well but those are the two highlights for sure.
Thank you for the heads up on "Tryphon", still hoping to identify this Signum!

As life progresses and you gain knowledge and experience, it will be revealed to you how to deal with people who steal from your family. Good luck.

      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
