This has been sold.
For sale: Monteverde Invincia Stylus. Current nib is an italic, about 1mm or just over. This was a monteverde stub nib that I modified to make it crisper (note that some of the work removed black paint on the top of the nib, you can see this in the pictures). It writes quite well. If you'd like a different nib, I have a lot of other #6 nibs, including a black Monteverde medium nib, or various sizes of Knox or similar nibs in silver or gold/silver two tone (shown in one of the pictures).
The barrel has some wear at the point where the it rests on a table. You can see this pretty well in the pictures.
I have had a bit of trouble with this pen. I think it has to do with the cap design. After sitting for a while, but nib can dry out and it takes a bit of work to get it started. Once you get it going, it writes very well until it sits unused again. The drying out wasn't terrible and it would take me somewhere around 20 seconds to get it writing. I think this has to do with the cap. It is not sealed completely. This is common with the Invincia Stylus and I would guess happens with all or nearly all of them. (I've read about the issue in a number of places.) I considered trying to seal up the cap, but I haven't tried anything yet. I'm not very patient when I pick up a pen. If you are, or want to try sealing up the cap, you can get it for a good price.
I bought this pen in March 2013, and used it in rotation with about 6 other pens.
Asking $40, shipping in original box included in the price.
