Description
The Leonardo Momento Zero Grande ‘Pura’ collection consists of 3 captivating transparent resins with a satin finish, to enhance the internal soul of the pens. The fountain pens are composed of more than 20 manually worked details. For each Pura you can choose between gold, silver or ruthenium trims.
The Pura is available in EF, F, M, B and Stub1.1 grades, in both steel and gold.
The flexible Elastic nib (F) is also available in gold only.
The #6 size nibs with extra-resistant lamination are friction assembled (not screwed) and easily removable.
The Pura is equipped with a black ebonite feed and has a piston filling capacity of 1.5ml. Both of these parts are produced by Leonardo in their workshops.
Please note: the fountain pen is entirely handcrafted, therefore it is possible to find micro turning marks inside the pen body and cap.
Each MZ Grande fountain pen includes a 40ml ink bottle and is guaranteed for life against any manufacturing defects.
And the story goes on… A family tradition. Leonardo Officina Italiana is a forge, a laboratory where experience and craftsmanship are mixed giving life to “pleasure”, the pleasure of writing. Over 45 years of experience in the field of writing instruments, handed down from father to son, from generation to generation. Today Leonardo Officina Italiana works on emotional and vintage projects, taking up the old loading systems, the materials and the working techniques that once characterized the craft of the craftsman. The Leonardo pens have a soul, a human warmth that only passion can give. The fountain pen carved into the material is certainly this detail that differentiates us on the world market. Each Leonardo collection is hand made in Italy.

I have a few Leonardo pens but this one have a different feel in the hand and the nib preparation work done by Appelboom is extraordinary and the pen performs very nice.
The experience of on-line purchase, delivery and customer care from Appelboom is of the maximum quality. Highly appreciate.

Well constructed and writes beautifully. Can’t go wrong with a Leonardo O. I. writing instrument though I personally would have preferred the nib in matt finish. Overall a wonderful pen and service provided by Appelboom is excellent.

First of all, the design and material are amazing. The writing experience is consistent and on the wet side. Earl grey works particularly well in this fountain pen. Appelboom provides a great service as usual, impeccable packaging and timely updates on delivery. Great overall shopping experience.

The craftsmanship is fanstastic and with the new material makes this a beautiful pen. The clip is fully aligned with the nib as well as the engraving by on the barrel. I do appreciate the engineering required to achieve this alignment. The nib is great and this is the first time I used Appelboom’s nib customisation service to grind the M 14kt Gold nib to a Cursive Italic. It writes beautifully – full of character and nicely wet. As always, Joost provides excellent service!

This new material is a sight to behold. The translucent black resin teases as a demonstrator. The matching Ruthenium trims and nib – simply gorgeous, and is something different from the usual gold or silver trims of most pens. The weight and feel is just right. And the ebonite feed is so sexy. Like all Leonardo pens, the alignment is perfect – clip, nib and engraving on the barrel is all in a straight line. This is great craftsmanship!

This pen is a fresh appeal to their usual line. Leonardo is raising the bar to higher standards of writing instrument. The material feel and nib is simply wonderful. The piston mechanism for filling ink is smooth. They all make one write many more pages. A joy to write with on paper. Beautiful.

Hi,
I loved this pen so much I bought the orange one as well. I typically don’t buy the same pen, even in different colors. Stunning and love the translucent black-ish. I had the nib tuned before I got it and it writes beautifully.

Awesome pen and great shopping experience.

I prefer the darker RT metal trim for these pens. The three colors are fantastic and I own all three: graphite, blue, and orange. They are all always inked with black, blue, and red inks, respectively. The pen write flawlessly, ink flow is very good, and the ink capacity of 1.5mL means you can write for a long time. Besides, you can see how much ink is left. I highly recommend these pens and I would get them from Appelboom since they have the best prices and customer service. The only caveat is that they might not be in stock, which means you will have to wait 2 weeks. So, if you mind the wait, choose Appelboom.

I got the Grey Anthracite with the ruthenium trim and nibwork by Anabelle. The pen looks stunning,, particularly with the black nib, and writes beautifully. As usual, the price and service from Appelboom is superlative.

I have a number of Leonardo pens and this Momento Zero Grande Pura Demonstrator does not disappoint. It is a somewhat girthy pen, solid in the hand, and beautiful to look at. I purchased the ruthenium trim with a black nib. I then sent the pen to the nibmeister, Mark Bacas, to get my B nib ground to an architect.. Out of the box, the pen wrote beautifully. Now, with the ground architect, it w rites like a dream. Smooth, sharp lines, a gorgeous writing instrument. Leonardo pens are a worthy investment and the Pura line is another excellent addition to any collection.
