The pens were called: Nina (light blue), Pinta (striped brown) and Santa Maria (purple); Visconti produced 500 pieces for each colour. The top of each color cap displays the name of the pen. All are piston type, have gold plated clips and accents, and are basically of the "Ragtime" style. This pen is in excellent condition. Never used The nib is a MEDIUM size tip in two-tone 14k gold.
