I heard a lot about this pen and all the feedback was correct. It is a wonderful pen. The feel and weight is amazing. It fits like a glove. I had the nib custom ground and tuned so therefore no issues with the nib,

I have used it for a few months, now it is one of my favorite pens, maybe my favorite. I requested the tune and smooth service and the specifications were surpassed; in the past, I had some problems with Visconti nibs and the possibility of being checked pre-shipping is a blessing, since sometimes it is hard to find options for this kind of work near my location.
The pen feels robust, durable, and high quality. I cannot find any loss of quality with respect to previous versions and it works nicely for me for longer writing sessions.
Thanks again for the excellent service and products.
The Visconti Homo Sapiens Lava bronze edition has been one of those grail pens that I have wanted for a while.
When I received this pen, I was not disappointed. The feel of the pen is amazing, its surface is smooth and warms with use. It has a good weight and excellent balance posted or unposted. The cap sealing mechanism is unique and a pleasure to use. It can be opened and closed in an instant. Finally, and most importantly is the nib. It looks great and makes silky smooth lines and glides across the paper.
Basically, it is a pleasure to write with and encourages more frequent use and better handwriting. I am very impressed.
Received my Bronze Age (XF) from Appelboom last week and it has not disappointed. Writes perfectly right out of the box and I have not stopped using it since inking it up. It fits in nicely with my M1000, KOP, 149 and Churchill. Great service from Appelboom and great pen!
Authentic product, The pen to have ink stains and perhaps scratches on the body, I contacted the customer services and they said those are due to nib customization and inspection. But it writes beautifully.
This has to be the epitome of fountain pens. Looks beautiful, writes wonderfully. The Holy Grail of fountain pens.
Appel boom is so great to do business with.
I'd heard all the great things said about this pen and finally got hold of one, and I was delighted to find out, that it lived up to expectations.
The material is wonderful in the hand, and not as heavy as I had thought. It does have a very unique and very comfortable feel in the hand. The size, whilst 'oversized' was perfect, and I typically write with something the size of a 146 or M800.
The nib is incredible. It has a wonderful bounce to it and is the smoothest nib I own. It isn't incredibly wet, but definitely isn't dry. The EF line is actually an EF, rather than it being basically an F.
All in all, the rumours are true, this pen really does live up to its reputation.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this pen and service by Appelboom. I frankly was worried about poor quality reviews. But perhaps thanks to the touch up service by Appelboom, or good quality of manufacturing by Visconti, or both, I’m pleased to report that my HS, dressed in an EF nib, writes beautifully right out of the box. Very pleased.
