Video Review: Visconti Voyager

I have enjoyed all your reviews but I especially was excited to see you share such a wonderful pen from Visconti, which may be only known to some of the users who have followed Visconti production for a while.

 

I feel very lucky to have two Visconti pens predating even this one, one with 14 & the other with 18 Kt nibs. The celluloid materials used in the early Visconti pens are a treasure but the nibs are the joy when used. One of mine is piston filled & the other a cartridge converter, which matter not to me, which system is used.

 

I thank you for sharing this unusual pen & commend your ink choice for the review. I enjoy Lie de The so much I even bought the larger sized bottle of same.

 

( I have no complaints with the palladium stub nib on my Opera Elements pen, yet I feel very grateful to have experienced these earlier gold nibs.)

Nice review of a great pen. Viscontis have gotten a bad wrap because of negative comments by a couple of well known reviewers. While their palladium nibs can be spotty, all of mine have been fine. While I enjoy those, I have found the the older gold nibs to be superb.

 

Here are three older Voyagers made of celluloid. The blue lapis on left is one of my vary favorite pens and is a fantastic writer. The coral in the middle I have left uninked. The lighter blue on right is the Florentia which was a Limited Edition for the 50th Anniversary of Stilografica
