Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Visconti Homo Sapiens Evolution Fountain Pen, which comes with its Visconti presentation box (including branded outer) and unstamped information booklet. The pen has never been used and is presented in essentially as new condition.
The barrel is crafted from the iconic balsatic lava from Mt.Etna, but the cap, section and piston cone are made from steel, which is then electroplated with ruthenium. A palladium wave design is then engraved on to each of these elements. This version is heavier than the standard Homo Sapiens.
The pen features the patented double reservoir power filler – you simply unscrew the end of the barrel, pull up the rod, place the nib in an ink bottle and push the rod back down to fill! It’s one of our favourite filling systems and the ink capacity is huge.
The pen is fitted with an 18k medium nib.
The important details are as follows…
Condition: Essentially As New
Boxes: Visconti
Nib: Medium
With every pen that we sell we provide a card that includes the manufacturer, model, serial / limitation number and date it was purchased from us. We do this because our customers like to have documentation showing that it’s been purchased from a trusted seller. As the Financial Times said recently in their How To Spend It publication – “izods is an e-cache of ultra fine fountain pens”.
