Visconti HS Bronze Age
Visconti Gallery and verification (https://imgur.com/a/JfAFxkT).
First up is a Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Maxi, with a 23k
Palladium two-tone <B> nib. Rated : the pen is in excellent
condition. The body (unsurprisingly given it is made of basaltic lava)
has no scratches, dings or scuffs. The bronze trim is, however, heavily
patinated. If you really insist, I will polish it so it returns to its
original gleam, but I think it looks much better like this.
55881
The real star here, though, is the nib: the (now discontinued) palladium
nib is smooth, wet, and broad (just a hair under a 1mm line, with zero
pressure), and it is decidedly stubbish: see the writing sample in the
gallery.
If you live on the broadside, or want to wander over for a look, this
nib will do its utmost to keep you there.
Pen comes with the full box, papers, and cloth.
USD 500 shipped to AU/EU/US (with preference given to Oceania).

Fosfor King of Pen SOLD

Next is another big pen. [B]The Fosfor King of Pen in Conway Stewart
Dartmoor acrylic with a stonking 18k M1000 <F> nib, ground to a cursive
italic by Gena Salorino.
55882
This is a vac-filler and, even though Manoj's suction isn't comparable
to a vintage Sheaffer, if you want to fill the enormous barrel with ink,
you can unscrew the nib and treat it like an eyedropper.
This is also a [B], it has been inked once or twice, but never left the
house. The acrylic is stunning, and if you do like an oversize pen, this
is pretty much top of the range in terms of size.
You can read my review on FPN (http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/350199-fosfor-king-of-pen/),
which includes more pictures and a full breakdown of the features.
USD 300 shipped to AU/EU/US (with preference given to Oceania).

Sailor 21k Nib -- SOLD

Last item is a 21k Sailor <HM> nib that comes with two housings, the
original and a FNF one to drop it into a Conid.
55883
This is a rare nib in that it has a unique stamp: made for the first
ProGear pens (a Mosaique) between 2003-5. I bought it as new old stock
to run in my Minimalistica, but the Ti <FCI> has kept it in the drawer.
Writes a beautiful western <FM> line, but with the hint of feedback
Sailor nibs are known for. Rated [B].
USD 120 shipped to AU/EU/US
