NETTUNO SUPERBA - 1990's

In the 1990's many Italian historical brands were revived and a number of limited editions were manufactured replicating vintage models.

Nettuno ( founded in Bologna by Mr. Vecchietti)  is one of these brands. The model which was chosen to bring the Nettuno brand back to life is the Superba, one of the most beautiful pens ever produced.

The modern Superba was manufactured in green marbled celluloid and all its finishing details recall the Superba model of the 1930s.

The three initials on the nib ( ACV) refer to Mr. Vecchietti's wife: Ada Corazza Vecchietti. Vintage gold Nettuno nibs had the same initials.

This pen is pre-owned and in excellent condition. The original filling mechanism was very unreliable and it was replaced using a converter.
