That’s a gorgeous celluloid, no doubts! Thank you for the photograph.

Inspired by many photos on this thread I had to get another Etruria this time the Miele Selvatico. A gorgeous resin I think. Eventhough I would love to try their goldnibs I couldn´t. The 1,1 stub is interesting and works just fine.

I´m not usually liking goldtrim but here it just work beautifully.

It seems to be the thread of every passionate lover of Stipula. I have a question. I just purchased a stipula faceted and the seller wrote on his website that it's a stiflex but it's also written that it's a 18k nib therefore I am confused. So far I understood that sti flex are only 14k. Did you ever listen about 18k stiflex?

From Stipula's own web site discussion of their nibs: 

• "Sti-flex,Flexible nibs suitable for enhancing expressiveness, both in 14k gold and 18k gold;"

BTW, the history of Stipula's nibs described on their web site is pretty interesting. Recommended reading: https://www.stipula.com/en/il-pennino

 

Happy writing!

Celluloid Etruria - love what the sun does with it.

Nice!

I had never seen before this celluloid on an Etruria, and I like it a lot. They choose the darker parts of the rod to made the section, which seems a reasonable idea. Congratulations!

Let me show you my first Stipula, the Etruria 991.

 

Beautiful Celluloid and silver, the nib is also a joy to write with.

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Still love my 991 with a 0.9 stub by which all stubs are measured.

@Chinchyyou have a very beautiful set there! 
 

Since my last update, I’ve added two more Faceted Etrurias in Gran Sasso Tibaldi celluloid, and Cracked Ice acrylic. 
 

I have one more on order in Ambrosia celluloid but it won’t be arriving for a while. Seems that Stipula will make the Faceted versions to order from their trusted stores, with about a month lead time.

To those asking about the celluloid facetted Etrurias (Etruriae?), I have the Corsani Gran Sasso and the Corsani Champagne and it's true that the one in the Tibaldi Gran Sasso celluloid is a fair bit bigger (especially in girth) than the Corsani Champagne one. The Champagne seems to be the same size as the other limited edition celluloids (Amber, Alter Ego etc). Personally, I much prefer this smaller size (it's in the 146 zone whereas the Gran Sasso feels like an oversized pen).  A perfect pen, in my view. While the green one is a bit more an oddity.

For those interesed, I'm selling an Etruria Gran Sasso rollerball and an Etruria Alter Ego with an amazing 14k 1.1 stub! For those interested, feel free to DM me!
