We have just received the new "Scriba Oro" fountain pen from Italy.
The Scriba Oro is a slim, beautifully finished, high quality fountain pen by
Columbus of Milan. It is made in a stunning array of acrylic resins. The
variant that we are distributing in the U.S. is the Scriba Oro and it comes
fitted, as standard, with a very smooth Schmidt 14K Gold nib.
The finish is absolutely flawless, in the tradition of Columbus pens since
1918.
The Scriba Oro is the standard version marketed in the U.S.
The pen breaks a new price point for high quality European gold nibbed
fountain pens: the RRP is only $ 160!!
We also have a very attractive FP/BP set, with a bottle of Columbus ink in a
beautiful gift box. The standard version of the kit includes the Scriba with
a Schmidt steel nib. It has a U.S. RRP of only $ 225.
The same set with 14K gold nib carries a retail price of $ 255!

I love the tortoiseshell/amber resin:
