The Pompeii Red color recalls the celluloid colors used by Delta for the \u003cstrong\u003elimited edition fountain pen\u003c\/strong\u003e Pompeii Millennium, while the Black offers a classic and sober aesthetic. The chrome metal clip is attached to the cap with a pressure system; the cap also closes with a quick thread in less than a full turn, ensuring a secure seal against ink drying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNib and filling of the Delta Journal N.O.S. fountain pen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe steel nib is original Delta, verified and hand-tested in the factories. The decoration incorporates a stylized design found in the archaeological remains of ancient Pompeii, an element that testifies to Delta's connection with the Campania region. Available sizes cover various writing needs: ExtraFine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Stub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe converter is accessible by unscrewing the rear cap of the barrel, without disassembling the grip-nib unit. Consequently, refilling is simpler and reduces the risk of leaks. The pen also accepts international standard cartridges, making it compatible with inks of any brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Delta Journal 2014 collection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Journal collection included a fountain pen, rollerball, and ballpoint pen, all with the same tapered lines. The project was inspired by reporters' notebooks and journalists' field pens from the 1950s and 60s. Original production also included mottled Brown, marbled Blue, and variegated Black\/White; the currently available N.O.S. pieces therefore represent the last remaining stock.

Routine cleaning, on the other hand, only requires rinsing under cold running water until the water runs clear. The resin also remains shiny with a dry soft cloth; to remove fingerprints, a slightly dampened microfiber cloth is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat does N.O.S. mean and what warranty does it have?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eDelta Journal N.O.S. fountain pen\u003c\/strong\u003e is a pen never sold or used, produced in 2014 and kept in Delta's original warehouse. N.O.S. means New Old Stock: it is not used, but not current production either. The Delta warranty is also valid for 24 months from the date of purchase for manufacturing defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow does the filling system from the rear cap work?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnscrew the rear cap of the pen body to access the converter plunger. Immerse the nib in ink and operate the plunger several times. There's no need to disassemble the barrel: consequently, this system reduces the risk of leaks during refilling and keeps your hands clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhich nib size should I choose for daily use?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor daily writing, Fine or Medium is recommended. ExtraFine is suitable for very small characters or agendas with narrow lines. Broad and Stub, on the other hand, are suitable for signatures, titles, or decorative calligraphy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use inks from other brands?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The system accepts international standard cartridges (Pelikan, Waterman, Kaweco, Diamine) and any bottled ink via a converter. However, it is advisable to avoid pigmented inks or inks with metallic particles that could obstruct the feed channel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I take the Delta Journal on a plane?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The fountain pen can travel in the cabin if fully charged or completely empty. If half-charged, however, changes in pressure at altitude can cause leaks. It is therefore advisable to keep the pen nib-up during takeoff and landing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Delta","offers":[{"title":"Extra Fine","offer_id":56166167970057,"sku":"DjouNOS.RO.EF","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Extra Fine \/ Nero","offer_id":56168687304969,"sku":"DjouNOS.NE.EF","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine","offer_id":56166168002825,"sku":"DjouNOS.RO.F","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine \/ Nero","offer_id":56168687337737,"sku":"DjouNOS.NE.F","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":56166168035593,"sku":"DjouNOS.RO.M","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Nero","offer_id":56168687370505,"sku":"DjouNOS.NE.M","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Broad \/ Pompei","offer_id":56166168068361,"sku":"DjouNOS.RO.B","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad \/ Nero","offer_id":56168687403273,"sku":"DjouNOS.NE.B","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stub \/ Pompei","offer_id":56169835299081,"sku":"DjouNOS.RO.ST","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Stub \/ Nero","offer_id":56169835331849,"sku":"DjouNOS.NE.ST","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/8797\/7993\/files\/DJournalRossaQ.jpg?v=1758559869","url":"https:\/\/www.pens.it\/en\/products\/delta-journal-nos-stilografica","provider":"Pens.it by Giardino Italiano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
