This is a spectacularly good looking pen!, presented in original box with paperwork.

Made by the Italian brand Stipula for the Writing Equipment Society in 2003, there were 5 different versions of this pen. This is the Stromboli identified from the brown/gold/green celluloid. This version was produced in a limited edition of 40 pens and this is #3.

The pen is in good used condition. It is a piston filler which works and is fitted with a large bi-tone 18 nib. The nib is stamped OBB for Oblique double broad width. Under a loupe the nib can be seen to slope from right to left, like the toes on a left foot. It has a lot of tipping.
