Second pen to go due to that darn Nakaya calling. ;)
Visconti Ragtime 20th Anniversary Limited Edition FP. Whew. This is a very pretty pen. Just not my speed. It is plain too big for one. And the style, while it is stunning, just doesn't do it for me. Turns out I really do like black fountain pens best. The nib started life as a boring old M but was made fabulous by Pendleton Brown. He really did make it fabulous. Every time I consider selling the pen I get all "but the nib..." But the truth is... I used it once, and then once again after Pendleton worked his magic. The pen overall just doesn't do it for me.
This is pen #46 of the limited production run.
Comes complete the way it came from Chatterly Luxury Goods. Visconti paper slip box, fake snake skin box, ink, the whole shebang.
