Delta Dolcevita Federico Media Fountain Pen

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody from Istanbul,

 

I have been following this wonderful forum for months and waited to write a message up to day because I need your help.

 

I won a bid at ebay and bought a Delta Dolcevita Federico Media Oro Fountain Pen with Fusion Nib from Martemodena_Europe. I think most of you are familiar with martemodena.

 

My pen is not "Stantuffo" but "Media". I asked Giulio from Martemodena the difference between two models and thanks to him he replied very fast with below answer:

 

"Regarding the Stantuffo has the real piston filler and the ink ispection window, and regarding Media it is ink converter which can be used as piston filler as well"

 

As far as I know Stantuffo models are also ink converter which can be used as piston, am I wrong?

 

So my question is that, is there any friend here who has Dolcevita Federico Media model pen and can you send me some pictures, especially about the filling mechanism?

 

Thanks in advance for the replies.

Hi welcome to the forum. I too won two pens from martemodena on eBay. Both were listed as dolce vita Federico media although the two pens have completely different sections and one is shorter. Both have the captured converter system which is quite good in my opinion. It makes easier to hold as you fill the pen from the bottle. You can easily check the ink level by unscrewing the barrel. I would still say a piston filler that can be easily cleaned with an ink window is better but they will be more expensive. They are nice pens, particularly the fusion nibs.

 

I believe what they say about differences between the media and stantuffo to be correct as you can see in their pictures. There is a separate thread on here about people's experiences with Martemodena. It's mostly positive although in my experience shipping can be slow if the nib you request is not in stock. Communication is good. I can upload pictures later of the media converter.

Yes, you are wrong. You have been given the correct explanation.

thank you Leeuwenhoek for informative message.

 

I am waiting pictures as Romeo is waiting Juliette:))

 

About shipment, yes you are right, some people say they r fast and some people say it can be slow. Giulio said me for example, Oro will come from Delta factory to him next week and if I dont want to wait that much, he can offer me some other colors, but I want Oro and decided to wait 1 week (more than 1 week actually) . So it is a little bit chance I guess

Sorry for the delay, didn't see the replies. The photos were only taken on my phone's camera.

The pen uncapped:

'Blind cap' removed:

Barrel removed:

The converter is threaded in and extends quite far into the section giving it above average ink capacity. I don't think the converter is really designed to be removed regularly but it is possible.

      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
