It was worth the wait and worth saving to buy it! The curves! Stunning. The way it writes, smooth on my CD notebook. I have never had a high end Visconti pen. So I did struggle to fill it. It’s hard to tell if it’s filling up and the writing for fill/empty is tiny so hard to see. so the first time I did not actually fill it. The second time i did fill it, but not enough. I think with time I will get the hang of it. So happy with this pen. Also Happy with the customer service at Iguana. Thank you
