Stipula Etruria Model 817 Black Celluloid Broad Nib Review

Nice pen.

Looks nice, but is that amount of ink on the nib normal for the pen? If so, it must make it very messy to handle if the cap isn't washed out weekly.

I never had any problems with it and it is a pen that I mostly use at home. For work, I use a Sheaffer Autograph and there too there is enough ink on the nib but it isn't causing me problems

lovely pens, I am a proud owner of a few Stipula Etruria myself and find it to be one of my favourite pens due to the incredibly comfortable shape in the hand (besides all the other good qualities, material, nib, etc.)

Some of the early Etruria did not come with the convex section, but they had a straight (slightly conical) section, I have seen one Ambra myself with the straight section.

I had it for a while but returned it to the seller because the piston was not in good order
