This Visconti Manhattan was made c.1997. The laminated celluloid mixes rich burgundy colored layers with layers of extraordinarily clear material to form a subtle but easy to see ink-view barrel. It has an 18kt. Fine nib with a hint of softness. The ends are trimmed in a deco style "stepped" design. The Manhattan uses Visconti's in-house vacuum filling system which is in good working order. (R082).
