I have wanted one of these for ages. Hard to find un-inked and from 1997!

Can't wait to get my hands on it! Review forthcoming just as soon as I get my grubby, ink stained, fingers on it!

shandy · 9 February 2010, 04:50 PM

That is a work of Art Richard, I can't wait to read the review. I hope that my 1999 Montegrapa Historia (pre richemont) will be hear any day now! Everything is included including the marvellous hard bound book

Lion · 10 February 2010, 12:11 AM

Richard, that is one beautiful fountain pen.....enjoy!!!

In all my years of collecting I can say that I have NEVER seen a more beautiful cut of celluloid.

Oak should look this good!

A keeper, Richard. Congrats

Absolutely, as soon as it get's here! I can't believe this is my first Italian pen!!

Lion · 11 February 2010, 11:32 AM

Very cool fountain pen.....indeed!!!

JimC · 11 February 2010, 01:49 PM

Congratulations, Richard. That is a real eye catcher! I love the style, but more so, the color of the celluloid. That is quite unique!

Bisquitlips · 14 February 2010, 07:35 AM

It came today! I have flushed it and filled it with my favorite ink. As it had never been filled I prefer to let the pen sit for several hours or even a day full of ink to prime the innards and get any dryness out of the plumbing.

Review will come soon!

And yes it is gorgeous! It is the Dama version which is smaller than the Millord so it is so light (celluloid) that it feels like I am writing with air. Posted it is the perfect length.

I can't wait for the review Richard!
I am away on a short break at the moment, I hope when i get back my Montegrappa will be awaiting me! A double Italian review on the forum, we might start a rush for Italian pens once folks get a close up of the beauties of Itallian celluliod

Richard - what is your preferred ink, if you don't mind?

Cheers,

Out of the bottle it would be Delta blue.

For every day, it is something I blend.

Thank you again Richard.

Have you ever posted pictures of your complete FP collection in a prior thread? It sounds quite wonderful. I would love to see it.

Cheers,
MK

Nevermind - just saw the cigar boxes. Beautiful collection Richard.

I have never posted the whole collection. I may have to do that.

Bisquitlips · 8 April 2010, 11:52 AM

Still out being reground to a cursive italic! Another 4 weeks seems like an eternity!

Lion · 8 April 2010, 11:12 PM

Richard, the anticipation must be killing you!!!

Numismatist · 8 April 2010, 11:41 PM

Outstanding pen, is that nib 2-tone Rose gold?

JBat · 9 April 2010, 12:37 AM

I must have missed this the first time around, Richard. Your pen is beautiful! The color scheme looks very familiar!

I've been looking closely at mine, and in some ways it looks like a really nice cut of wood.

I have to ask, where do you find all these uninked older pens? I wouldn't have a clue as where to start.

Shangas · 9 April 2010, 01:00 AM

**Wolf Whistles**

Veeerrrrrry handsome!!

Is it heavy? Or light? What nib does it have? Is it a piston-filler? C/C? It's gorgeous!!
