My Visconti

I bought this pen for my daughter at a very quaint and lovely pen shop in The Hague back in 2002. She's asked me to hold it for her even though she's now a journalist with bylines in The New York Times. Lovely pen if I may say so.

Amazing how tiny it is and how nicely it writes.

How does it fill? Is it a twist design or do you push/pull the knob?

Just push and pull. Even next to the dime it's hard to appreciate how small is the pen. The nib looks almost out of proportion compared to the rest of it. However, it performs like a big pen.
