Three Visconti Copernicus Fountain Pens: Red, Green and Blue; Red Photos

[dougb1426]

Up for sale are three very hard to find Visconti Copernicus fountain pens. The pens were produced in the mid 1990’s by Visconti as limited editions: 999 of each color, as marked on the crescent of each pen. Visconti did a great job of designing a pen with a true vintage look. Each pen is celluloid acetate, with beautiful coloring and transparency. The pens are crescent fill, and the fill system works perfectly. Each one has a well-functioning sac, and holds lots of liquid. I tested each pen just now with water. All in all, the Copernicus is a real looker of a pen, and a great writer. The 18K nibs are very smooth. Each is briefly described below, along with pricing. Shipping cost reflects fully insured, USPS Priority shipping within the US. Please PM or email (doug1808@gmail.com) with any questions or interest.

Due to limits on the number of photos, I have placed a separate ad for each pen’s photos, although all three are described below. This ad has photos for the Red Copernicus.
