A CULT tribute to this distinguished palate delicacy as well as to the homeland of both the beverage and our company itself, this homely collection turned out to be a break-through phenomenon in the industry. Innovative for its steampunk design and local-roots idea, it is already setting up a trend on the market. The hand-made hammered copper body and the stainless-steel trim, culminating into a cork cap top, are as fantastically uncommon for a writing instrument as only Montegrappa can be. The Grappa collection will be offered as a fountain or a rollerball pen, limited to the Montegrappa’s foundation year-number 1912 for each of the two modes. The Grappa fountain pen is fit traditionally with a customized 18k gold nib, and is both cartridge or converter-fed. Montegrappa delivers the Grappa collection in exclusively designed boxes, as much impactful as the product itself, with the writing instrument to be exhibited within a real blown-glass grappa bottle!

Hello All, Here is a photo of the New Dolcevita masterpiece collection. Coming soon!! Have a great day everyone!!

The new Speak Easy and Millionaire Marble Collection Fountain Pens from Visconti are available!! Some specs and pictures below: The Speak Easy: From 1920 to 1933, Prohibition was a national ban on the sale, production, importation, and transportation of alcoholic beverages. This movement was promoted by conservative groups and organizations such as rural Protestants and social Progressives in an attempt to control a variety of perceived social evils such as alcoholism, drug abuse, and gambling. During this era, Speakeasies became one of the most prominent symbols of American culture. Often run by organized crime groups, these secret establishments provided a location for patrons to indulge. To enter, Speakeasies often had a hidden location, passwords, or a special knock. To commemorate this pivotal period in American history, Visconti has created the Limited Edition Speakeasy. The pen, in polychrome celluloid, has a sanitized container inside it that holds a shot of its owner's favorite liquor. An ingenious rotating mechanism in the section allows the user to rotate a window, which states the type of liquor held in the pen. Limited to 1,000 pieces, the Speakeasy is available in Fountain pen and Rollerball. The Fountain pen features a 23K Palladium nib in extra fine, fine, medium, broad, double broad, and 1.3 stub. The packaging includes a matching hip flask. The Millionaire Marble Collection: For the first time in the history of writing, Visconti's Millionaire project has been inspired by the use of marble, one of the most luxurious materials in the world, as both a decorative and a functional element. For over 3,000 years, from the splendid buildings of ancient Greece through the glory of the Roman Empire and the Renaissance right down to the lobbies of the world's leading hotels today, marble has always been used as a decorative element symbolizing pure beauty, opulence and abundance. Marble, known as the "gleaming stone", had never been used to make writing instruments before now, on account of both the challenges inherent in working with it and its intrinsic fragility. With the assistance of skilled artisans, Visconti has succeeded in grinding marble to an infinitesimal thickness and at the same time it has brilliantly resolved the problem of the material's fragility thanks to the advanced technology developed in its workshop. The cap and barrel are both made of marble carved out of a slab 3 cm. thick. The marble is first cut into square bars, then hollowed out internally, reinforced, turned on the lathe to the required size, and finally polished. Thickness has been carefully calculated to ensure that the pen's final weight is correct and is comfortable for daily use. We have chosen four types of marble whose specifications are best suited to the manufacture of pens: Portoro Black, Issoire Green from the Alps, Valencia Cream, and Rain Forest Brown. All parts used in conjunction with the marble are made of resin and turned on the lathe from full bars.

Hello All! Private Reserve has changed the color of their Gray Flannel.They are unable to receive one of the ingredients to make the color. They have re-formulated the ink and the current offering is similiar, but not the same. The re-formulated ink has a greenish-tint to it, both in the bottle/ink cartridges. It writes as a gray color ink, but not the original light gray color.I have attached an example written on Rhodia 80g paper. Currently in stock!

Hello All, From Visconti: Visconti is pleased to introduce the new Opera Metal Collection. Utilizing their iconic "Squaring the Circle" design, Visconti has developed an innovative collection of writing instruments with a modern edge. Patented in 2004, the squaring the circle design was inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man. This combined shape is not just the perfect ergonomic shape for the writing instrument. Visconti has also used the same shape in designing the cases of its timepieces as well as the matching cufflinks and now, at long last, we have forged a meeting point between time, the circle, and writing, the square. The Visconti Opera Metal writing instruments are made of anodized colored avional. Avional is a high strength aluminum alloy often used in aeronautics. These pens are available in 4 color combinations: Speedboat, Silver Shadow, Roadster, and Monza. Offered in fountain pen or rollerball, each pen features Visconti's patented hook-safe lock closure and My Pen System. The fountain pen is enhanced with Visconti's patented Smartouch tubular nib available in fine, medium, broad, and 1.3 stub.

Good afternoon everyone. I thought it is about time to put pen to paper bash the keyboard once again after an interesting day out looking for pens. Saturday morning, for a change, was bright and sunny, definitely not November-ish weather at all, so we decided to go pen hunting. First off, to F.G. Thomas in sheffield to have a close look at a pen that "She who must be obeyed" spotted on one of her previous visits. Straight away, on stepping through the door we were met with a very warm welcome and were engaged immediately in conversations about, erm, pens... Then, as we had come to snare a rare Conway Stewart, the proprietor (Gary) extracted a wonderful selection of said pens for us to drool over. There were a number of model 100's, a Wellington, some of them with "Henry Simpole" bands on them, all gorgeous, all in front of our eyes. Yummy. However, we were on a mission and had come to pick up a model 58 in Lapis blue, which, was in the very last box brought out. Without any delay, we made the purchase which tonight gets wrapped up and will go under the tree to be opened december 25th. Yep, I know, mean of me, letting the missus see the present and then take it away. However, to compensate, I know she has now got something she really really wants, so no mistakes this year! Overall, the whole experience was very relaxed, zero pressure on us to even purchase anything and the welcome was very friendly indeed. Up to now the pens we have purchased have been from online retailers, which, don't get me wrong here, we have had good experiences online, but actually seeing quality writing instruments in the flesh really does make a big difference. Will we visit them again? Absolutely. Value for money? Subjective due to the nature of what we bought, but we would say yes. Easy to get to? Mainline station at the bottom of the hill, multi storey car park next to it, both only 5 minutes walk, with cafes and other shops in the area. Considering Sheffield is a huge city, this store is a little Gem. We could have stayed there for hours just chatting, but we planned on shooting across country to visit another purveyor of fine writing instruments. Next up, was "The Pen Box" (penbox.co.uk) across country in Epworth. Epworth is by contrast a small market town in the countryside and the shop itself is tucked deep in a small shopping arcade. As per F.G. thomas, we were greeted with a very warm welcome and were left to browse to our hearts content. Now, I have been hankering after a Pelikan M800 with an italic broad nib for a while and bingo, there was one in stock at a "very competitive price. I wasn't going to leave without this little puppy. In the mean time, we got chatting to the proprietor and he kindly showed us through a large number of either rare or unusual pens in his collection and it was a drool-fest. Anyone seen the S.T. Dupont Orient Express? We have now and it is stunning! Not only is there a wide variety but there appear to be excellent stocking levels as well. Would we visit again, you betcha. Easy to get to? Sat Nav took us to an open air car park with 2 hours free parking, the shop being two minutes walk away. The arcade has a number of small cafes and rustic shops, definitely a nice place to visit. So after a full day out, two gorgeous pens, two bottles of ink and a serious exercise in emptying the wallet, I would have to report that it was was definitely worth taking the effort getting out there to visit actual real bricks & mortar shops. The experience in both was positive, no pressure to buy anything and could not say if one was better than the other, as they were both top-notch. Both shops have a "web presence" and have the usual methods of contact, email. telephone etc. Having visited both and meeting the guys, I would have no hesitation purchasing online from them. My bank Manager however, may have a different opinion... As per the "usual rules" of FPN, I have taken a couple of quick snaps of the new additions to the collection.
