Visconti The Golden Man LE Fountain pen 23kt Med nib MIB

Description: I am selling a Visconti The Golden Man Limited Edition fountain pen with 23kt palladium two-tone large Medium Dreamtouch nib. Mint in special Visconti presentation box box with papers. Power filler fountain pen with screw-on cap. The filler knob is accessed once the barrel-end cap is unscrewed. The cap and barrel are made of solid vermeil with red lacquering, and the trim and artwork are fashioned by the lost wax method. Length closed is 15.3cm, length open is 13.4cm, weight is 85 grams, and width at widest point on cap band (excluding the clip) is 1.8cm. Visconti produced the Golden Man fountain pen in a limited series of 388 pieces in 2010 . Purchase with confidence. This is a beautiful pen from a truly wonderful pen manufacturer. Visconti's press release for this pen in 2010 states as follows: "Herodotus used to call the nomadic tribes wandering the steppes east of the Ural mountains and the Caspian Sea (in nowadays Kazakhstan territory) ‘griffins - treasurers of the gold ‘. And he was not wrong at all, considering that the fifth century BC mysterious prince Saka has been discovered in his tomb completely covered in gold clothes. The Golden Man, a dark-identity armed warrior used to adorn himself with thousands of jewels- gems and gold- representing leopards, ibex, winged horses and floral motifs – evidence of the animalistic art used by these nomads, rulers of the Asian steppes, to convey their emotions and their view of the world. Visconti’ s intention was to create a wonderful pen inspired by the myth of the Golden Man that proposed the same motifs of the Scythian art. We have therefore transposed the Golden Man inspiration into a collection fountain pen in which our skilled goldsmiths have artistically reproduced the magic of the mysterious warrior. The original colours and naturalistic symbols of the pen will convey to you the same emotions as those of the antique tribes that clothed their princes in solid gold! Add to that the fact that although the tribes inhabited distant lands they reached Europe in their migrations during the fall of the Roman Empire, you will also feel to have contributed to the European Middle Ages history just like the Scythians did."

We ship internationally by DHL Express, and domestically by TNT Express, to your physical location, and not to any PO Boxes or like delivery points. We do not use Australia Post for international deliveries, because we are concerned to minimize the risk of loss. If the buyer's eBay and/or PayPal address information is, in our opinion, ambiguous or incomplete, we will not ship until the buyer has provided us complete address information. In this way we can minimize risk of non-delivery. If this additional information is not provided within 2 days of purchase, we will cancel the transaction, and reimburse any paid monies. For apartment or unit dwellers, we will require the buyer's address record to clearly state the apartment or unit number, separately from the street number, for example, "100 John Street, Apartment 222" or "100 John Street, Unit 222".

An important note regarding Visconti’s 23kt palladium large Dreamtouch nib. The Visconti 23kt palladium large Dreamtouch nib can be a joy to write with, provided it has been tuned properly. Unfortunately factory settings are not optimal for some fountain pens that are new "out of the box", and occasionally tuning is required. After purchase and before sending each Visconti fountain pen fitted with a large Dreamtouch 23kt palladium nib, I will remove the nib unit, put it in my tester pen, and check (and adjust as necessary) to ensure it writes correctly. Then I will wash the nib unit through, clean it and put it back inside the purchased pen. In this way I can be sure the pen will write correctly. Some minor droplets or ink/water residue may become apparent around the nib or inside the barrel when the pen is received, as a result of air pressure changes during courier air transport. I will warrant the performance of the nib unit as a consequence of the aforementioned procedure. If the buyer prefers this procedure not be undertaken, a message to that effect should be left with the order. However, in such circumstances the writing performance shall not be warranted, and I will not accept returns on account of the writing performance of the nib.
