    Default Hey, from Sydney

    Hey all! Pleasure to be here. I bought a lovely Montegrappa Parola a few months ago and it's definitely started a bit of an obsession - starting to look for my next purchase! After spending a little too much time (and money) on a watch collection, I think I might have found my new venture... Given I'm a writer by trade I'm a little worried about how quickly I'm going to in above my head!

    Any thoughts on iconic models I need first up? Definitely would like to keep to the Italian brands for now - a little obsessed with all things Italian.

    I also wondered, does anyone have any insight in to the manufacturing process in Italy? Obviously the major brands have their own exclusive factories, but are there any manufacturers that supply to multiple brands? I could see myself one day throwing a little passion fund at developing something of my own, and wondered whether that was even a possibility.

    Thanks all!

    Take a look at Grifos Fountain Pens. The owner is great to work with and can help at a reasonable cost.

    Welcome! I love my four Deltas. They’re the only Italian pens I’ve got though, so not much of an expert here.
