Montegrappa and Visconti have boxes that big for some of their pens. Leonardo includes ink bottles with other models, so it makes sense you’d get one with yours. Piston fillers rank number one with me! Enjoy!🎉

Your integrity is really showing in this video! That pen is absolutely stunning and you totally deserve it! I think that it’s good to acknowledge when something is retail therapy but at the same time making a purchase that you’ll actually use. Sometimes I put off a purchase to use as a reward or retail therapy so I’ll get it when it works well into my life. It sounds like you’ve had your eye on that pen for a while and will really value it 🖋️ I’m newer to fountain pens but loving it. I just had 4 interviews today and told myself I can get my first stub nib pen as a reward for making it through them! I’m going for that Twsbi eco in transparent purple 😊

I do not own a fountain pen but I recall at the age of 14, I went to Office Depot with my parents and passed the fountain pens display. I could not take my eyes off of how beautiful the more expensive pens were and I did not understand why someone will pay so much for a pen...now I know. A perfect gift to begin the next chapter for sure :) I am so happy for you Helen! I wish you nothing but the best, take care.

Congrats on the new space!! My mother offered very profound wisdom to me when I was graduating high school. She said sometimes I would have someone special in my life and sometimes I wouldn't but that I should mark special occasions in my own life with jewelry. I think a pen you will enjoy and use regularly and will remind you of an achievement is perfect! I also love practical souvenirs from trips - which have included pens and jewelry but also a cute kitchen towel or piece of decorative art.

It's beautiful! Your excitment towards the box and the packaging is my excitement. I think we all do it and seeing you do it too makes me smile. I think you've always been quite modest towards yourself and considering the new lease and the breakup, you most certainly are allowed the retail therapy. Why do rewards have to stop when we are adults? As long as we are responsible when doing it (i.e. fits in our budgets and doesn't put us in debt) and not rewarding ourselves everytime we go to bed on time or use the potty, I think it's perfectly ok!

I got the exact same pen (but with a Stub nib) second hand (but practically mint) recently, and yes... it's so nice I'm no longer chasing my dream Italian pen (Visconti Homo Sapiens)... maybe just a very nice vintage #6 nib that will fit with the Jovo nib unit this comes with. The shape and size are perfect (for me) and the piston-filler makes the price more than worth it (plus I got it cheaper since it was second hand, only inked once). I ouched for the Leonardo wrench last week, so maybe another Momento Magico is gonna be in my future... hoping version 3 colorways look great as well, and they keep the smaller ink window, too (version 1 had a larger ink window that I didn't like).

Leonardo makes many piston fillers. Any of the Grande models, the Magico, and many of their special material pens are piston fillers. i love the Italian pens. Most of fountain pens are Italian, but I only have one Leonardo. It's a nice surprize. Good think you didn't buy the Leonardo Blue ink. It's a wonderful cerulean like blue, somewhat like Kon-Peki. So I think that the pen companies just include inks with some boxes, unless it is a special pen. I once got a Stipula Green ink with a Stipula pen that was tucked under the pen bed. Pen Chalet told me that some boxes have inks, some don't. they have no idea which box had inks. In this case though, they would have known. Beautiful looking pen and color, and I personally enjoy the writing experience more with an ebonite feed, as I am sure you will also. Congrats on your lease, and hope this pen brings you years of enjoyment.
