=========================================
Selling my grailed Visconti and Pilot VP LS as I haven't inked them for a while since focusing my collection to vintage pens and pencils haha. (if you have any unrestored vintage lever-fillers lmk! happy to buy/restore)
The Visconti Stub nib (rose gold) is probably one of the smoothest nibs I've ever used, which includes the broad Custom 823. This nib feels like a disciplined brush that disappears in your hand and just sails on paper. Bronze accents have some patina that I'll restore if you prefer upon purchase, I think the patina looks great and adds to the pen's colorway. Was purchased from the amazing people at Penboutique! It really is the modern grail pen and this stub nib will put a huge smile on your face when writing.
Pilot VP LS is the big brother of the regular Capless and has the iconic/over-engineered twist-release to retract mechanism, super premium feeling pen for the price. The matte coating on the brass body feels a bit different from the regular VPs, and reminds me closer to the visconti's softer touch resin. All blacked out including the nib except for a line of red at the retracting mechanism, super sleek and minimalist pen for any blacked out EDC folks. EF gold nib is incredibly reliable, smooth (minimal feedback compared to SailorEF) and writes so finely (as fine as Platinum UEF) (amazing on hobonichi 48gsm journals).
Will also be letting go of my beautiful FPR gold ultraflex, this is a beast of a modern flex pen with the biggest tine spread I've ever touched, I've only pushed it to 2.3mm but can probably reach 2.8mm. The resin Tanoshii is the perfect size for any flourishing calligraphy (roughly same size as pilot VP, unposted). I would pick this up over the Mag600/650 (esp price wise) as this is an actual daily writing pen, there's a higher threshold for when you want to actually flex on the downstroke and not accidentally send a blob of ink down. And if comparing railroading to Mag or even vintage, this pen has them beat on all metrics if comparing how wide the line is and how consistent it is (ebonite feed can also be further cut for more flow). Def wet noodle status in vintage pen comparison with tine resistance similar to a Swan but the snapback of a Waterman Red.
They are truly amazing modern pens that I will definitely be buying again in the future but right now just can't afford to let them collect dust. Happy to take offers but they are minty pens priced decently under MSRP+tax.

Shipping: 📦 $5 insured for CONUS, extra TBD for international, everything is in original packaging so it's a little on the heavier side esp for the visconti.
