Delta Indigenous Simbu Black Vermeil LE GT Fountain pen

Unveil a masterpiece that honors tradition while embracing innovation: the Delta Simbu Limited Edition Fountain Pen Collection. Inspired by the rich cultural heritage of the Simbu people of Papua New Guinea, this exclusive collection brings to life ancient symbolism through exceptional Italian craftsmanship.

Handcrafted by Delta under the artistic direction of Francesco Marino, this 2025 edition is a heartfelt homage to the legendary designer Francesco Rienzi, who shaped the identity of the collection for over two decades. This new chapter reflects the timeless dialogue between past and present, spirit and form.

Craftsmanship Rooted in Culture

Each Delta Simbu fountain pen is a work of art, handcrafted using precious materials such as solid 925 sterling silver, vermeil, or 18K solid gold, depending on the edition. The design pays homage to the skeletal body paintings of the Simbu—symbolic of the eternal bond between the living and their ancestors.

• Sterling Silver Clip – Inspired by the ceremonial KUNDU drum, a cultural icon of rhythm and unity.
• Intricate Metal Armor – Cast using the ancient lost-wax method, the skeletal design wraps the body of the pen, echoing the spiritual traditions of the Simbu.
• Piston Filling System – Designed and assembled in Delta’s Maiora workshops for smooth, reliable ink delivery.
• #8 14K Gold Nib – Available in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, and Broad, paired with a red ebonite feeder to enhance ink flow and responsiveness.
