Overview
Visconti's Homo Sapiens Dark Age fountain pen brings the volcanic character of basaltic lava resin into an all-black design. Lava from Mount Etna gives the body its distinctive tactile feel, while PVD-finished trim and a Visconti-engraved clip continue the dark exterior.
Made in Italy, it has a 14k gold nib, a High Vacuum Power Filler system for bottled ink, and a Hook Safe Lock cap. It measures 146 mm closed and 173.4 mm with the cap posted, with a 14.3 mm barrel width. It weighs 43 g with the cap.

What is distinctive about the body material?
The body combines resin with basaltic lava from Mount Etna, giving it a distinctive tactile feel. The volcanic material is central to the Homo Sapiens design.
Does this model use bottled ink?
Yes. A High Vacuum Power Filler supplies bottled ink to the 14k gold nib, and the cap uses Visconti's Hook Safe Lock closure.

The Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Age is a wonderful fountain pen. I chose an extra fine nib and it glides over the page effortlessly with very good ink flow, letting Me write in a neat, small script even on cheap copier paper.
The pen itself is lovely to hold, the basalt-resin case feels very tactile and actually absorbs body heat so very quickly feels pleasingly warm in your hand.
Quality is first class, from the sprung pocket clip to the secure twist-lock cap and the magnetic cap logo that can be swapped out if you wish to personalise your pen.
The only downside would be not having any indication of ink capacity, but the tank is large enough to write several pages and you soon get to know when to refill.

Der Füller ist wirklich ein Traum und besitzt eine sehr weiche Feder. Allerdings ist der Tintenfluss teils recht ungleichmäßig und keinesfalls (wie bei diesem Modellhäufig beschrieben) zu üppig. Wirklich gut lässt er sich nur mit einer recht nassen Tinte (z.B. Skills and Roses von Diamine) schreiben.
Die Kaufabwicklung und der Versand waren jedoch TOP. Vielen Dank.

What’s to say about this type of pen - lovely and beguiling in the stealth finish. The nib is smooth with a touch of feedback - lovely. The delivery and communication from Iguanasell was faultless - highly recommended pen and customer services. Thank you
