Stipula made Levenger Verona fountain pen This pen was sold by Levenger under the name of "Verona" . It was made by "Stipula" in Florence (Firenze) Italy. I purchased one of these from Levenger a few years ago and still have the catalog page that shows a sales price of $159. With a fantastic 14k gold nib these pens write very smoothly and the size and weight are fantastic. It is 13.8 cm with the cap on and 16.5 cm with the cap posted. Stipula sold a couple of similar pens as the "Castoni" and "College" lines. I think this has an improvement over those pens in how the clip is done. It is spring operated so the clip lifts from the body by means of a spring underneath it. My favorite thing is the obsidian ball in the end of it which, unlike the other pens with fixed cabachons , rolls freely in its mounting so that when it pushes over something it is very smooth. This vivid Carmel Colored Verona has an acrylic resin body that is hard to capture in a picture because of the shimmer and depth to it. You have the choice of Medium or Fine 14k. gold nib which writes smooth and even. I had my smoke grey one ground to a cursive italic style and it performs as well as my $500 Aurora Optima. It uses either cartridges or the included converter for filling from bottled ink. I was fortunate enough to have the rumors I had heard about this pen read more
