Grazie mille a te Armando, felice di essere entrata in questo Club!

First of all, I would like to say thank you to give me the opportunity to be there on that place and close to the estimate Armando considered as " the boss". Great to share pictures of pen collections, sharing photos and infos is the blood of the pen clubs and at the end of day, more we ar...

hello, you got a nice pen. as per my opinion, this mabie todd has been dressed by a " gioielliere " probably in England, the art work is known as damascus scene, usually this kind of job is done on soft steel then gold filled, the green/grey parts are obtened by oxydation of the metal. If ...

Unsure If I'll like steel nibs you're using but, assuming they're flexible enough (and I'm sayng "flexible", not "rigid-but-if-you-push-enough-they-flex-someways", like Noodler's do :o ) I'll have to give them a try. have a look on this video, an american collector is doing "...

Hi gorgio,
it is me again, is it that nibs you talking about, right ?

Hello Gorgio, Yes, if you have a look of the company history at http://www.wahleversharp.com you will find more details. To do simple, I produced first time the skylines in 1993 just after I bought the trademark , at that time they were produced in France where my father had a pen factory. We have p...

Hello Rolex Hunter, You are right, this skyline has been made from the 1990 and comes with converter / long cartridge.

cari amici collezionisti, la scorsa settimana ho colorato la settimana di verde, questa settimana invece sarà la settimana del blu cielo, magnifico come quello siciliano

I wopuld like to do it again but we do not have tje machine anymore....what a pity

here are some skyline prototypes and nerver been marketed

hoooooouuuuuuuups...... is that a pen ? What Montegrappa is doing ? is that the Italian elegance or la famoza raffinatezza italiana ????? This a pity really, but unfortunately for most of the pen makers, the clients and the market are not the italians or french or british but mostly Chinese or russi...

Dear Senpei, I agree totally with you of what you said. as I know the 58 is the biggest size and this pen is big as a N°20 and in an other side waterman never produced the N°20 with a lever filling system....
