Description

Thanks very much for looking at our listing for this Visconti Homo Sapiens Midnight in Florence Limited Edition Fountain Pen, which comes with its Visconti presentation box (including branded outer), information booklet and warranty card. The pen has been very lightly used and is presented in overall fantastic condition.

The Midnight in Florence is a limited edition of only 888 pens and this is number 034. As the name suggests, the name was inspired by when darkness falls across Florence (the hometown of Visconti). The city takes on a different feel, with the darker grey, blue and purple tones becoming more obvious than in the daytime when the city basks in sunshine.

The barrel features ribbons of shaved acryloid, which is suspended in clear resin, with the cap having the same colour palette. The pen features the patented  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 a 23k medium nib.

The important details are as follows…

Condition: Fantastic

Boxes: Visconti

Nib: Extra Fine

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”.
