For your consideration is a Dolcevita - Mid-Size fountain pen by Delta (DV80187).

Other photos attached.
Condition. The pen is new, never inked/dipped. Comes with box, paper work, and leaflets shown in the last photo - including a hologram-embossed card with international garanzia and unique number.
Nib. The nib is solid 14K gold with a platinum mask. The nib size is fine.
Material. Like other pens in the Dolce Vita line, the barrel is hand crafted from Delta's distinct terra cotta resin. Notoriously difficult to photograph properly - it does what you would expect from an Italian product: call attention to itself and look stunning. The grip section and cap are made of glossy black resin.
The clip is made of an elastic alloy, plated in platinum. A wheel on the clip assists placing the pen in a shirt pocket. The cap unscrews for removal with just less than 1 1/8 turns.
Other trims are platinum plated, while the pompei motif around the cap is silver. A small sterling silver Delta logo adorns the top of the cap.
Filling mechanism. As a mid-size model, the filling mechanism is a delta converter that twists into the grip section with about 4 turns.
While not a limited edition, the pen does carry the serial number 31763 on its cap.
Shipping. Price of $290 includes first-class shipping to CONUS. $5 more for 2-day priority within US. Add $15 for international.
Payment via PayPal preferred.
