Happy Fountain Pen Day! Today's featured new acquisition is a beautiful sterling silver Italian fountain pen owned by Jerred....

Jerred: "This is the Delta Profili. It is a faceted pen,
with 8 sides, and the cap and barrel are made of sterling silver. The
pen has accents in red celluloid, and has a 14k nib (I said 18k at the
meeting, oops!)."
"There are at least two versions of the Profili of
which I am aware, and this is the second. The first version of the
Profili was engraved on all body facets, and the "Delta Italy" logo is
engraved on the cap. This second version is recognizable from the first
as only alternating facets of the body are engraved, and the "Delta
Profili" logo is on the body, not the cap. This second version of the
Profili is a little bit more rare than the first."
"This
particular pen came with Delta's #5.5 nib in 14k solid gold, with
Rhodium plating. The pen was not used much, but the nib is still a
pretty decent writer."
What a gorgeous fountain pen! Congratulations on your new purchase, Jerred, and thanks for sharing it with us!
