Hello everybody
For your consideration is a Stipula Etruria, due to needing funds for my grail pen.
It's an Italian handmade fountain pen, made out of celluloid.
Although the deepness of the material isn't nearly as beautiful on the pictures, it's best decribed as burgundy marbled flakes in a honey colour. This honey colour is actually the natural undyed colour of pure celluloid. (https://imgur.com/a/A583swK).
The details on the pen (clip and cap band) are casted sterling silver. There seems to be a small scratch on the clip (https://i.imgur.com/QIvXUM2.jpg) but except from that the pen is in awesome condition (B+).
This pen was made in the early 2000's only.
It features a T-flex (titanium) nib (https://i.imgur.com/Jg3TwcX.jpg) which has quite a lot of flex (https://imgur.com/a/YE2EMq1). Note that I flex very fast in this writing sample, so ofcourse in the end the needs to adjust to this ink flow. The limit of the flex is where the railroading starts and the nib will be sprung if you flex it further. As you can see the nib is matt grey and writes very well, with a hint of classic titanium feeling to it.
The pen has the box included (https://i.imgur.com/LZQb3ul.jpg). This picture includes a timestamp as well, which is need for other boards like Reddit (/r/PenSwap).
A writing sample can be found here: (https://i.imgur.com/G6vWFB1.jpg)
This is a C/C version since I didn't want the inner walls of this celluloid to be discoloured over time. Converter and box are included.
I'll be shipping from Belgium and take Paypal and regular wire transfers. I'm asking about 325 euros for this pen OBO.
Thanks for looking
Ruben
