Hi All,
I have never owned a Visconti before. I have a Nakaya and an Aurora Hastil Cento (the only two expensive pens I have). Recently I came across the Visconti Torpedo. It has a design that either you are going to like or you will hate. I was intrigued by it and there was something about it that spoke to me. However, the price was $1600 and above, so stopped thinking about it. Recently, I came across a well established fountain pen retailer selling one for $1200 (brand new with full warranty). Now, when I bought the Nakaya, I had promised myself that it would be the only expensive pen that I would ever buy. But this Visconti is intriguing at that price point (I promise no more expensive pens after this
It would be helpful to know if there are any issues I should be considering as I look at potentially purchasing the pen, things such as fit and finish issues etc. Also, I tend to go with Fine nibs (have a fine nib on my Nakaya). Do you recommend me going with a F or an EF nib on the Visconti?
Any help / advise is appreciated.
