I had been drooling over this pen on ebay for awhile. I've never had a Delta and had always thought about buying one of the orange and black Dolcevita's but then I saw this one.
The seller (martemodena) had only a fine and extra fine listed but he told me that it wasn't a problem for him to switch out the nib to a medium. I bought on September 1 and it arrived (on Labor Day no less) today!. Super fast shipping from Italy to Tulsa, Oklahoma!
Here are some pics of the biggest fountain pen box I've ever seen and the pen. I'll post some writing samples later this week.

(Bad picture - sorry)
It has two screws that release the plexiglass top

Next to a Visconti Rembrandt, Parker Sonnet, and a Pelkan M600 - It's a pretty chunky pen!
So far writes excellent and looks to be a great pen for writing a short period of time - too chunky for me to write with it a long time.
