Kind of futile for me to continue posting a "final purchase" when I keep seeing more and more artistic viscontis. Their van gogh series to me looks incredible.

Someone/mediocre please tell me I'm looking at something akin to an Invicta 60mm monster. Or please tell me some negative points of the brand visconti. There must be. I hardly see anyone talk about this brand.
Argghh!!

Their fountain pens often have problematic nibs that need adjustment.

I thought I'd post this pen, not because it's something particularly special, but perhaps so anyone in the same situation can get a recommendation from my experience. It's a promotional pen with the contact info for my LLC engraved on the cap. The construction is decent and the refill is a good quality German made medium tip roller ball(compatible with 888 refills). I checked several different companies and went through about a dozen samples before settling on this one. I got it from 4Pens.com although there's several companies that offer the same pen, all with WCCR in the model number. For a bit less than $200 I got 25 of them so it worked out to less than $8 each. There were no setup fees that other companies charge for smaller orders.

All in all I'm happy with the order and it was the cheapest I could find for this same pen engraved. In the picture it's the silver one next to my blue Scriveiner. The quality isn't as good as the Scriveiner, but it's a fraction of the cost. It feels good in the hand although a bit light. The idea is to give away decent promotional pens that won't end up in the bin at the end of the day and I think these will work as intended.

@Mediocre it took me nearly 2 years, but i finally caught the pun in the title. "Post your pens" is a double entendre. You "post" by sharing a picture here, and you "post " by putting the cap on the non writing end of the pen ...

Sorry it too me this long to recognize the genius 😓
Glad someone saw it!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!

I was not aware of the phrase until coming across it during lockdown reading. Maybe it was Goulet? Either way, it felt too perfect not to use lol

Nice choice. I broke my Pilot Metropolitan a couple of weeks ago, order a new one on Amazon but they sent me an empty package 🤬. Been using this Parker in the meantime while I try to get a replacement for the Pilot.

Nice Parker! Fingers crossed they can get your Metropolitan sorted out, they are fantastic pens!

I have no idea if it would fit, but the Schmidt 6040 FineLiner is my favorite fiber tip refill--I use it in a Waterman pen. I see that Schmidt also makes a rollerball refill (5888)...worth a look to compare sizes and see it will work in your ST Dupont.

ST Dupont ballpoint. Been trying to figure out if I can find a rollerball refill that would work
A quick googling leads me to this:
'Their ballpoint pens take their own branded Parker style G2 or D1 standard refills. Some ballpoint pens take a Cross style C1 refill that is a couple mm shorter than a standard C1. Their rollerball pens take a non-standard capped rollerball or mini capless rollerball (similar to Schmidt mini 8126) refill.'

Obligatory pen pick: here's the Moonman A1 I accidentally ordered off AliX while testing out coupons! Oops!
No regrets, though. Gorgeous pen, well worth the $35 Canadian I spent.
