Faggionato Pétrarque - Golden Blue Tortoise

**heymatthew** · October 3rd, 2019, 01:08 PM

Hello all,
For sale is a Faggionato Pétrarque in Golden Blue Tortoise. This is a stunning little pen with vintage dimensions sporting a steel no. 6 Bock nib. I bought this from Papier Plume as part of the final stock of Faggionato pens (Mr. Faggionato passed away earlier this year). These will never be made again and I hate to part with this pen, but it's just not for me as I find it to be a bit too slim for me to use comfortably.

Overall condition is excellent as this pen has never been carried, but it has been inked. It has gold-colored hardware and a gold-colored nib. The nib is a fine, but I find it to be more of a medium and it may need to be reduced if you want an actual fine. I will also include a 14k Bexley Fine Nib at no extra charge.

I will include the original box and a converter as well, just as it comes from PP. One thing to note is that the threads on this pen are pretty tight / sticky. This is normal for this material (cellulose acetate), but I wanted to mention it to anyone new to the material that it's normal and they can/will loosen up with time and use.

The pen in consideration can be found here: https://www.papierplume.com/catalog/...e/category/95/

I'm asking $200 shipped anywhere in the US or best reasonable offer. I would also consider trades for the following:

Franklin Christoph Model 46 (Translucent Models) - Plus or Minus Cash Depending on the Nib/Material
Sailor Pro Gear Full Size (Various Models, Medium or Broad Nib) - Plus or Minus Cash Depending on the Nib/Material
Sailor Pro Gear King of Pen Demonstrator (Medium or Broad Nib) - Plus Cash to You
Platinum Izumo Green or Red (Medium or Broad Nib) - Plus Cash to You
Platinum 3776 Oshino (Medium or Broad Nib) - Even Trade
Others???

Thanks,
Matthew
