Oct 16, 2015 · Goldspot Pens kindly loaned The Pen Addict a Visconti Van Gogh Midi in Green Musk to review. This fountain pen comes nicely packaged in a faux leather clamshell box. The pen is made of Italian resin that is semi-transparent. I really like the musk green color with its swirls of yellow, orange, and brown. The resin is stunning and changes with ...
Apr 24, 2006 · The material and workmanship of these Van Gogh's is outstanding, especially when you enter the street price at around $225 for the Maxi.

The Visconti Original Van Gogh Midi rollerball pens are the original Van Gogh design with the round cap and barrel rather than the 18-faceted design of today's pen.
