Maiora Writing Culture

[writepen]

Good Day, Fellow Fountain Pen Admirers! Which pen manufacturer produces fountain pens with flawless fit and finish and threading, and has steel nibs which write like gold nibs, and utilizes special resins which look like cured celluloid? Yes, it's The Maiora Pen Company. Founder Nino Marino has earned his long-term, international reputation for excellence in creating the highest quality writing instruments. He is the head of Nettuno 1911 as well.

The Maiora Impronte Capri is a Numbered Edition Fountain Pen, produced in both Standard Size (in my attached photo) and Oversize. The captivating blue finish can only be fully appreciated in the hand--the photo does not adequately depict its exciting color. The body of the Capri is hand-turned from solid bars of particular resin. The cap is precisely threaded, and can be posted if desired. The pen's weight is well-balanced when writing. The clip is plated with durable rhodium, machined from solid brass, and then hand-finished.

There are 3 filling methods>A threaded piston converter with a rhodium-plated cover accessed at the section, or, unscrewing the blind cap at the bottom of the barrel to operate the piston converter, similar to turning a piston-filler knob, or, with standard ink cartridges.

The German nib and feeder work in harmony to provide a truly fun writing experience. A friend in Italy said it best..."Gotta love those Maiora nibs!" Nib grades available are Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub.

The mini section means I'd have to hold the pen at the stepdown and the threads, Hmm, no thanks.

I am normally really sensitive to barrel steps and sharp threads, but I didn't have any comfort issues with either size of the Maioras. Lots and lots of photos and a more detailed and balanced write-up in my review, if you're interested.

Yes, I agree - one of the most comfortable pens I have bought in a long time. So nice that I quickly bought a second!
