I'm liquidating some of the pens in my collection and this EXTREMELY RARE Visconti Opera Master Rollerball Demo needs a new home.
I say it's extremely rare because I don't believe Visconti ever put it into production. I purchased it from a dealer at a pen show in Atlanta in March, 2009. He said it was a demo made for dealers only.
I have only used it a few times and it has been kept in a pen storage box in a smoke-free home for the last 11 years. The Schmidt blue RB refill was i...ncluded in the original purchase and does not write as well as a new one will.
It intrigued me since I have the fountain pen version of the Opera Master and didn't think Visconti made a RB or BP edition.
Overall, it is in like new condition with no scratches, chips or scuffs on the barrel, cap or trim. It has the words "Opera Master Demo" engraved around the barrel just behind the cap threads.
The top of the box shows a bit of warping but it isn't cut, punctured or cracking and included a Visconti project pamphlet in a slide out drawer.
If you collect Visconti writing instruments, you don't want to let this one get away. Insured shipping will be $15 for CONUS addresses via USPS Priority Mail.On Sep-05-20 at 19:46:51 PDT, seller added the following information:I added one more picture showing the rollerball refill and how it is replaced in the pen.
For this particular model, the barrel end cap is unscrewed and the refill is inserted into the barrel.
