This Maiora Mitho fountain pen features a black and orange resin body. It has a beautifully engraved center band. The cap's center band is made from sterling silver, and the remaining trim is plated in palladium.
This fountain pen comes with a silver #6 steel nib made by JoWo, and fills via standard international cartridges or the included converter. The "converter plus system" can be used like a traditional converter, or can also be accessed by unscrewing the bottom of the barrel to act like a piston mechanism.
Each pen is individually numbered.
The Maiora Pen Company makes all of their pens by hand in Naples, Italy. Maiora is managed by Nino Marino, the former co-founder and president of the Delta Pen Company. Maiora also produces fountain pens under the Nettuno brand.
Maiora Mitho Origine Black & Orange Fountain Pen
To preface this review, I have small Asian woman hands and I am also left handed to boot, so there may be a number of things you can chalk up to operator error. It's a beautiful pen. I love the details, the coloration. As far as a writer, the EF nib I have is a little scratchy but there's no problem getting it to start writing. In contrast, I have a Pineider Avatar (also EF) that is a wet writer and is quite smooth.
Edit: I am returning this pen.
Love the size of this pen if you have larger hands as I do so will you
This is a well made pen that fits my hand very well. I have dashed off several letters since receiving it just because of the way it writes!
I was attracted to this pen because it looks so much like a Delta Dolce Vita Orange. Now, I don't have a Delta DV to compare it to, but I am loving this pen. I have a number of pens with JOWO nibs, but I'm pretty sure Maiora has tuned this fine nib because it writes as good as any nib I have, including the gold nibs I have on Montblancs, Pilots, and Leonardo pens. This pen is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I recommend it highly.
