Visconti Takes A Leaf From Delta

I like the cap mechanism as well but have never seen the pen in person so not gonna vouch for it. For the nib, this type of products are more targeted for those that buy the pen for show, instead of writing Imho. A piece of metal glued(or melded for that matter) on top of the nib doesn't effect the characteristics at all, and all that money is just spent for a gold ornament that isn't even visible that much. So if the market is well informed that these pens are only aesthetically different from their steel counterparts, my guess is that the sales will tank spectacularly. And hopefully, we will get nice gold nibs and steel nibs in the future, not some halfhearted middle of the line solutions like this.

At least when Wearever did it they had the courtesy of using a gold nib surrounded by a steel frame.
