The Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Age is a wonderful fountain pen. I chose an extra fine nib and it glides over the page effortlessly with very good ink flow, letting Me write in a neat, small script even on cheap copier paper.
The pen itself is lovely to hold, the basalt-resin case feels very tactile and actually absorbs body heat so very quickly feels pleasingly warm in your hand.
Quality is first class, from the sprung pocket clip to the secure twist-lock cap and the magnetic cap logo that can be swapped out if you wish to personalise your pen.
The only downside would be not having any indication of ink capacity, but the tank is large enough to write several pages and you soon get to know when to refill.

Der Füller ist wirklich ein Traum und besitzt eine sehr weiche Feder. Allerdings ist der Tintenfluss teils recht ungleichmäßig und keinesfalls (wie bei diesem Modellhäufig beschrieben) zu üppig. Wirklich gut lässt er sich nur mit einer recht nassen Tinte (z.B. Skills and Roses von Diamine) schreiben.
Die Kaufabwicklung und der Versand waren jedoch TOP. Vielen Dank.

What’s to say about this type of pen - lovely and beguiling in the stealth finish. The nib is smooth with a touch of feedback - lovely. The delivery and communication from Iguanasell was faultless - highly recommended pen and customer services. Thank you
