Monteverde Invincia Vega Starlight Purple Fountain Pen - Broad Nib, Artistic Design, Premium Writing Instrument

Lovely PURPLE on Black color, & the BROAD nib writes like a dream! Even better, got it on sale.

Did not include the promised piston ink converter.

Got into fountain pens recently and loved the color of this one. Got it in a broad tip. First things first, this thing is gorgeous. Takes about 1 twist to get the cap off, and the cap aligns the clip with the engraved name on the pen, a nice premium touch that adds a very premium feel. The weight is amazing. Feels really nicely balanced, even with a full converter. The nib is smooth, and flows VERY well, in fact, I get quite a bit of ghosting and bleed through, however, I have only put Waterman Tender Purple Ink in it so far, and that ink bleeds even with my extra fine tipped Asvine V169, so I suspect the ink is just very wet. So far, love this thing, though I do wish I would have gotten it in a medium tip, just because I rarely use broad, but I got exactly what I wanted out of this.

I returned this pen because it was heavy and the grip was slick. Too hard to write with.

My second favorite pen. Everyone who borrows it talks about how smooth it writes. The only thing that would make me love it more is if it were a stub nib.
