Product Description
Based in the picturesque Italian town of Bassano del Grappa, Montegrappa has been making beautiful, functional pens since 1912—pens that inspire the writer to write. Among them is the Fortuna Heartwood, a fountain pen that pays homage to organic materials and the relationship between people and nature Read More
Gorgeous pen, however I agree with the group. I hope Massdrop brings the Montegrappa Fortuna Mosaico "Moscow" Fountain Pen for the same price as the "Roma". Saving my nickels.
the nibs on these pens are finicky. You can never be sure you will get a good one. But if you do get a good one it’s awesome. Unfortunately I have had two consecutive failed experiences with Montegrappa steel nibs and won’t buy one till I can actually be sure the nib is smooth and performs well - trying at a store and getting that same pen is what I would prefer for this pen.
I was so excited when I saw Montegrappa and Teak, but then I saw the pen. Bronze? Why is bronze so trendy now? I hate it on watches and I really hate it on pens. Furthermore, at $285 it really should have a gold nib, or at least a gold nib option. I love wood pens, and I have a Japanese Briarwood pen that is one of my favorites. If this pen had rose gold trim and a gold nib, even if it cost $100 more, then it would be a great buy. Most of all, I am really curious what everyone thinks about the bronze craze. I honestly do not understand it. What will come next, untreated iron with unique "rust" patena?
SkipPpI have the same feelings. I saw the price and a stainless steel nib. oookay, I'll pass. If this had come with an 18k gold EF, then I would be in.
SkipPpYup, agree about the gold nib. $285 for a steel nib and a converter seems high. Like you I like some bronze things, but half the time it's just a bad brown fake bronze, and I definitely don't like it in pens!
