After more than 30 years, Visconti is proudly announcing a new in-house 18k gold nib completely designed and made by the Visconti team. This means the production of the entire nib unit: the feed, the nib housing and the nib itself. This brings to the collector a complete 'Made in Florence' writing experience. The new buttery smooth nibs will be launched in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium and Broad.
The Opera Master 'Polynesia' transports the collector to the exotic Polynesian islands famous for its dazzling beaches, serene blue seas, and coral reefs shimmering in clear waters. This is an exceptional fountain pen featuring the many patented innovations favored and sought out by Visconti collectors.
Double Reservoir' Power Filler: A vacuum filling system that is easy to use and has considerable benefits. Patented in 1998, this is arguably the most advanced filling system ever developed in fountain pen history. The user is able to fill the pen with the equivalent of 10 cartridges of ink, and thanks to the two reservoirs, prevents ink from leaking during air travel.
'Hook Safe Lock': This revolutionary closing system is very satisfying to operate and was created to lock the pen body into the cap to prevent the possibility of the pen accidentally unscrewing and leaking inside a pocket or bag.
'Semi- transparent demonstrator': The 'Polynesia' features a semi-transparent resin cap and body with enchanting swirls of blues, white, cream, and brown inspired by the paradise islands' luminous blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, swaying palm trees, and powdery beaches.
The Opera Master Polynesia is truly an engineering and handcrafted wonder combining all of the innovation and passion that Visconti brings to market.

Note: this is my absolute favorite of my pens. It is as beautiful as it looks in the photos and writes like a dream. I am not a pen, store, or a professional, but I will do my best to clean this out for you. I had two of these at one time , but I kept this one because the resin on the side is the best I’ve ever seen of all 888 made!
Other than signs of being gently used, this is in perfect condition. This was my baby and I’d like it to go to a loving home.
I have fallen on some hard economic times and need to sell everything I can, so this is priced very very fair And to sell quickly. I will consider offers, but this is still not a garage sale!
