Not only is the pen beautiful and well-presented, but buying was a wonderful experience through IguanaSell. Emails indicated purchase had gone through and excellent communication throughout the rapid delivery process. They also offered the best price. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

The pen itself is smooth and faceted. It is weighty. A smooth writer. No issues at all. My preference would have been a metal with a warmer tone but Visconti doesn't seem to offer it. The included ink is somewhat more purplish fushia than the pen suggests, but it is a lovely fast-drying color. Perfect gift to myself.
