Good review and very beautiful pics.

 

I have 2 Rainbow Etrurias myself - Clear and Green. Had to send back the Green one to the Stipula Plant in Firenze, Italy due to a leaky piston knob (took advantage of the LE Warranty). Still waiting for it to come back in maybe a couple of weeks. The Clear One writes and works flawlessly.

 

The Etrurias are pretty large pens but with perfect balance posted or unposted - and the designs are meticulously Italian. I'm missing the Green One now :(

I'm sorry to hear about the leaky piston. I'm sure it'll be rectified.

I'm a fan of clear demos too, maybe I'll get my hands on one someday!

Thank you so much for the amazing review!!!

My yellow Etruria is on it's way to Finland and I hope to receive it next week, I totally can't wait to get my hands on it!!! I'm not a big friend of gold so although my favourite colour is green I decided to go with the yellow one, how often do you see yellow demonstrators anyway ;) Oh, and when I heard about the titanium nib I was utterly sold: I'm a science student so I'm incredibly fasinated by the elements, metals especially... and now I really want to get to try the pen out!!! I even have Noodler's Apache Sunset waiting already :D

 

Cheers,

Gorgeous!

 

I have to admit, I did not think the yellow would be nice...

 

But it's the only one out of the "rainbow" series that has the silver trims...and the combination is unexpectedly awesome!

 

Is it really that vibrantly yellow even with regular daylight?

a stunner :thumbup: thanks for the review

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
