Took some fresh pictures of the Atlantica for those interested, and also reducing the price to $135 + Shipping.
130 USD Shipped (Shipping within US included, Priority Mail Insured, International is extra).
I will consider Trade+Cash offers.
This is the Pentrace 2004 LE of the Atlantica button filler I received from Giovanni Abrate who also tuned the nib.
It currently has a Schmidt #6 Medium (line thickness appears like a western fine to me). The model number of the nib appears to be FH452 as I see a couple of them on eBay in up to broad size (RichardsPens also sells the Schmidt for the Atlantica at $30 for medium and broad under the Barbara's Attic section).
Without further ado, some pictures.
First a shot under some stronger direct light to see the shimmer/swirl. The rest are shot under my usual strobe set up with diffused lighting.

I am told by Giovanni that the cap band and trim by the end cap are sterling silver, but in the capped picture you can see a tiny bit of brassing on the front of the cap band. So not sure if they're sterling, or just silver plated.

And from an earlier photo session, you can see how easily the section, presure bar and button comes out.

Write sample with some Montblanc Irish green which seemed appropriate on a Rhodia No.12 pad.
