It seems like I used the pen just yesterday but it says it has been over four years since it last got to play. That couldn't be right, it has to be wrong, yet there was evidence.

So even though it means I have four fountain pens filled at the same time, I let the Ferrari da Varese Yesterday come out to play. It decided it wanted a bright blue so I filled it with Pilot Iroshizuku Kon Peki and will let it strut its stuff for awhile. Just please don't let the other pens know.

The Ferrari da Varese Yesterday is all Sterling silver covered with a high temperature enamel that is then cut away using a diamond bit to show the silver and provide guilloche. The nib is 18K medium width, soft but not flexy. The cap is a slip on that seals well and has a positive snap when seated.

Good looking pen, which pen company produced it?

Very charming! That's how I would imagine a metal Nakaya Decapod to look like :)

How much does it weigh?

Filled, 36.0 g. It's somewhat smaller and slimmer than the Nakaya Decapod.

Thanks, I thought it would weigh something like that. I didn't expect it to be smaller than the Nakaya Decapod, though – probably because of the first photo where it's surrounded with much slimmer pens. And, well, I've only seen Nakayas online so far, and I was always under the impression they are a bit slimmer pens.
