My local store has quite a few. If you have one, how do you like it.

I have several Delta fountain pens. I find they write quite well. In general they are well-made and age nicely. You might also consider Visconti pens. But, IMHO the Delta is a great choice.

I have several also and they are extremely well made instruments.

The new Delta Dolcevita Oro collection is particularly nice.

I saw the Dolcevita collection at FPH, and they immediately caught my eye. Sharp looking pens.

You should see it in person. One of the finest that Delta has come out with in years. The orange celluloid and gold together are stunning!!

Well now you guys have done it. You couldn't say "No Good", Don't Buy", "Would not have one".

I picked up a DolceVita. This is a stock photo. I will post a new thread when I get the pen up and writing.

Lovely looking pen - I have a mont blanc la boheme fountain pen in gold and mother of pearl - does this have the screw top like the la boheme. Sweet own good buy can you get them in Europe? How much was it?

Hi Ethan. The cap screws onto the body and is a perfect friction fit when posted on the end. The following link carries the pen.

They are stunning looking pens, have drooled over them at a stockist near me in Harrogate.

Many congratulations on your beautiful pen.

Thanks Dave. It writes very effortlessly. I am debating whether to have the nib flattened for more line variation. I think I will write with it a while before I decide.
