Fascinating. Thank you and thanks Salvadore and his father for allowing you to share this with us.
mr T im happy to share all this with you and also my best regards to Salvatore and Ciro for allowing me to film their company workshop
Superb videos. You have done us pen aficionados a great service through documenting these factory visits. Most importantly, Luca in his understated style has answered the one question that has flummoxed most of us for several years. Why are proper flex nibs not made anymore? Like he says because the alloys that are available in the market are designed not for elasticity but for ease of workability which is what most of the market for sheet metal demands ( I am guessing for jewellery) and thus it is not economical to produce alloys that have elastic properties. So its possible to make alloys for flex nibs just not economical for sheet manufacturers. And all these years we thought that alchemy of flex nibs had been lost. Fascinating.
You’re Very Welcome!
Looking forward to more of your exciting informative fun videos!
Thx!
Been getting a lot of new equipped to record more of these
this was the best video ever!!!!!!!! Love the Beretta project... i'm fan of the brand.... but the pieces of arco celuloid you get was the best!!!!
It so cool to travel and meet all this great people and they let me in to film everything . the company will be a name into pen making with all the experience of Salvatore father (over 45 years experience) . and i hope i did my best to show you guys what ive could see in once day and also all the knowledge ive got since they answered every question of mine

Awesome contribution Emy! Thanks a lot, I appreciate this series of your Italy trip very much.
thank you! im currently working on my second video from this series for another pen company , i think it will be available this coming weekend . and today i hope i finish editing the review of those two pens from Leonardo , so stay tuned for a better idea of the actual pen from them !
Finally got around to watching this. Well done on a super video. So interesting to see the manufacturing process and the artistry and skills involved. Thank you !!
I should have said - this is Sarj :o)
Im happy to present this to you . I hope i will have the chance soon to visit them again and have a interview with the CEO and many things to film and share with you all!
I like the Beretta thing. They should make a pen that looks like a pistol, I will buy. Btw I just bought my Leonardo momento in Red here in the Philippines. Great product
There are many great project in works at Leonardo and also a Pen Venture exclusive pen. Momento Zero is a successful collection , good looking and also great writing experience from those steel nibs
Very nice video! I just noticed a few things. The celluloid you showed as the 'Israel' celluloid I believe is actually the royal blue celluloid. And, the filling system they use on the Wahl Eversharps are pneumatic systems and not a Vacumatic system like the ones Parker used on some P51s and on the Vacumatic pens themselves.
Thank you - I’m not sure the names where correct the ones that I’ve used but back then I was really excited and a lot more younger in my collection habit
@@pen.venture no worries at all! All about learning
Great vidéo will need one in my collection

At 4:10 I can see some orange rods, I'm looking forward to seeing what they will do with them. I'd love to get a pen in that colour.
if im not wrong that is the material used for the Delta Dolce Vita , its a marbled vibrant orange color !
Wow, those celluloid rods...
Excellent Video
thank you ! im happy to see that this video enhanced your purchase experience
Fabulous. Curious about the Baretta.
Thank you ! The Beretta project was a novelty item that was presented to some special clients of Beretta.
Great Coverage!
thank you ! i hope i did well :D
Great video👍
thank you ! Its my passion and i just now realize how far i went in almost 1 year and how many great people i meet and this community is just getting better by the day
I know it's probably a little too late to ask this but, why can't they produce celluloids anymore? Some old style omas paragons are being sold for more than 2k euros on ebay. I think there's enough market to be profitable for a small company like this
its a lost art , the celluloid witch is used today is from almost 1930 1950 , and all the people that did manufactured it are not living no more ,its a lost art like many things that are not anymore . we just have to see if the companies look to invest intro training people and giving a go to making celluloid again.
and the only reason why a pen out of that cost that much is because there is no more celluloid available , if there was , the price will go down with the amount of material being produced
Do they co-own that Omas stock (particularly the Omas Arco) with ASC? What is their relationship with ASC?
The entire celluloid stock belongs to asc only , Leonardo used to manufacture their pens - but in 2018 they stopped working for asc
@@pen.venture very interesting. Do you mean that ASC now make their own pens entirely? Since Pen Family seems to include Wahl Eversharp, Oldwin, Bexley, and a Conway Stewart brand, does this mean they also manufacture all of these themselves now?
Why can’t celluloids be produced anymore? Most especially the arco brown?
Well Zackarie it’s complicated, there are quite a few reasons why not, the major one is that the complete process is very dangerous - flamable and time consuming , with the new legislations it’s almost impossible. It takes maybe 3 - 5 years from start to finish and that in today’s times will bump the price so much that is not worth making it.
As far as I know celluloid was mostly used by the makers of sunglasses and the pen makers where only buying small batches from them being that they are a much smaller and secondary makers that where using small amounts that could not cover the complete cost of a batch even in the past times, so the sun glasses manufacturers commissioned huge amounts of the material and pen makers where buying small amounts from them. Regarding arco brown I believe everyone that knew how to make that specific color and pattern is no longer between us and they didn’t passed the craft to other. Celluloids are produce anymore but not like in the old days , for example Montegrappa, they have a facility next to their factory where they produce celluloid , only for their pen models and it’s moved from the actual factory because it has caught fire for over 3 times in the history of montegrappa so they made a complete building and they had to move it separately of the production of pens because of the legislation requirements.
