Visconti Homo Sapiens – Steel Age

Following on from the success of the Visconti Homo Sapiens fountain pen with bronze trim is the new for 2012 Visconti Homo Sapiens Steel Age.  As the name indicates this new pen range has stainless steel trims combined with the composite lava barrel, cap and section.  The nib is the same as that fitted to the earlier varients – the 23kt palladium dreamtouch nib.  Filling of the Homo Sapiens Steel Age does differ from the earlier varients as it is a piston filler, whilst the antique bronze trim fountain pens are a power filler.  The Steel Age fountain pen is also available in two sizes (medium and oversize).  Call at the shop to view the pens.
