So, got this in today from Appelboom. This is not a review yet. I have only had it for an hour. I will say this is the first pen I have ever gotten that looks better in person than the stock photos. Enjoy the eye-candy!!! These are not done with the good camera.... those will come with a review.

Also post this topic to the sub-forum for Italian pens. There will be a lot of admirers of Visconti pens over there too. They would appreciate it.

You got one with really pretty swirls on the barrel and a nice cap! Congrats!

I think these are the best looking Homo Sapiens Demos they've done so far (they're all gorgeous though).

Thank-you all for the kind responses. Mine is #455, and I am afraid I got the prettiest one. I am impressed how well the grey and blue work. The swirls have grey as well as blue so it really pops inked or uninked.

I know you got the prettiest one because that was the one I hoped to order! I'm not sure I like the ones they have left.

      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

      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
