Ferrari da Varese Service or Parts


Cordovian

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where I can have a Ferrari da Varese Spartacus serviced or a site where I can obtain parts?

 

I purchased a pre-owned Spartacus a few years ago and it recently started leaking leaking at the grip section. I was trying to figure out how the nib came out to trouble shoot the leak and came to the horrible conclusion that the previous owner had repaired a cracked feed by gluing the whole assembly together. Thank god I only paid $80 for it.

 

Anyway, I'm trying to find a new nib section since repair is out of the question. General Google search for parts brought up nothing relevant. I tried going to the Ferrari da Varese website, in the hopes I could send it to them for the replacement, but the contact button no longer functions. Which brings me to another question. Has Ferrari da Varese closed?

I'm not a fan of this company, therefore i'm not informed about it.

Howewer, just looking on Google, it seems the company is in liquidation:

It does not mean necessarely that it will disappear, as there are chances that they are changing the kind of company, or many others possibilities.

@Cordovian, I would post your question to the Repair Q&A Forum.

 

@Ron Z is the moderator there and he is a well-respected repair technician. Even if he does not know you particular pen, perhaps if you sent it to him, he could find a nib unit that would work.

You might email Franklin Christoph since I believe they had a relationship a few years ago.

Thanks! I'll do that. I did manage to get the nib and feed out. The feed housing is broken so I need to figure out what will fit and where to source it from. Looks like a Bock/Schmidt setup but I'm not certain. Perhaps Ron will know.

      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
