Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Medium Fountain Pen

Sadly, Visconti are no longer offering medium-sized fountain pens, and we have none left in stock.

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Bronze Age Medium Fountain Pen is manufactured from lavastone from Mount Etna, probably the world’s most famous active volcano on the Island of Sicily. Almost certainly spewed out of the ground during Etna’s last eruption, the lavastone is ground and mixed with modern resins to produce a tough near indestructible matter from which these extraordinary pens are made. They have a soft, warm feel to the hand and because the material is slightly hygroscopic it also feels very dry to the touch.

Complemented with bronze appointments, the Bronze Age Homo Sapiens medium fountain pen has Visconti’s signature arched bridge pocket clip, the cap secures cleverly into place with Visconti’s brilliant ‘hook and lock’ cantilever bayonet system.

The medium Fountain Pen is available with the following Nibs: Fine, Medium, and Broad.
