Description: I am selling a Visconti Homo Sapiens Blue Lagoon limited edition fountain pen with Visconti 18kt gold (Rh-plated) large Extra-Fine nib. Push and turn cap closure. Sterling Silver rings and palladium trim. Visconti produced this series of 888 numbered fountain pens/rollerball pens in 2021-2, in this partially transparent style. It is made of Visconti proprietary crystal resin material with blue celluloid swirls in the transparent barrel. The cap and gripping section are in opaque blue swirls resin, and this complements the demonstrator barrel nicely. Power filling mechanism, with plunger knob unscrewing from bottom of barrel. This is a beautiful pen from a truly wonderful pen manufacturer. Mint in Visconti presentation box with ID card and warranty booklet. Please note that the exact swirl pattern in the pen shipped will be as pictured in the photos. Also, there may me a slight fluid mark on the inside of the clear barrel, near the piston knob, deriving from the manufacturing process. This appears on many of these pens, as shipped from the factory, and as such is more of an idiosyncrasy than a fault. When inked, this mark will became much less apparent. Length closed is 14.5cm, length open is 13.2cm, width at widest point on cap (excluding the clip) is 1.6cm. International buyers, please note that the listed item price and shipping cost do not include import duties, taxes, and related charges. The buyer is responsible for these charges. Before bidding/buying, please check with your local customs or other responsible office for information on these charges. We ship internationally by express courier (DHL, UPS or FEDEX), and domestically by TNT Express, to your physical location, and not to any PO Boxes or like delivery points. From time to time, we may change our selection of courier for delivery of your item in order to ensure a cost-effective service, and having regard to your particular location, those couriers who have better coverage in your area, any local regulatory controls, and other factors. 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". Descriptions such as "222-100 John Street", or "100/222 John Street", or similar, are considered ambiguous and shipping will not occur, in accordance with the above. Thank you for your cooperation in making my service efficient and relatively free of risk. 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.
