Tanzanite Milano Fountain Pen with Regular and Flex Nib Options

/

Inspired by vintage flat top pens of yesteryear, the Milano is machined from beautiful Acrylic and Ebonite material. Ebonite is a natural hard rubber, expect to see slight variation from the pictures (no two pens are alike!). Osprey Pens Milano Measurements:

  • Length (capped): 142.0 mm/5.59″
  • Diameter (section): 10.6 – 11.4 mm/0.41″ – 0.45″
  • Weight (all): 26 g/ 0.9 oz

This listing allows you to choose a steel clip or a gold clip to be outfitted with your Milano. Note that the clip may come with a different imprint than what is shown in the pictures.

One Pen, Many Nibs: Choice of Additional Nibs

Keeping in line with the Osprey philosophy of interchangeable nib units, a wide variety of nib units are offered below that will work with this pen.  Click on the hyperlinked choices to learn more about the nibs.

  • Choose from Osprey Regular Size 6 nib units in Steel or 2Tone. All Regular nibs used for everyday writing, come with a plastic feed and accept international standard converters or pre-filled ink cartridges, giving you the flexibility to use either bottled ink or pre-filled ink cartridge. The pen is fitted with an Osprey custom converter by default and is packaged in a premium pen box.
  • #6 Steel  Economical Special Grinds such as the Architect Broad, Architect BB, Zoom BB, Broad Left-Oblique or Broad Right-Oblique, Broad-Stub or Double Broad Stub. Similar to the Regular Size 6 nibs, the Speciality Grind nibs also accept international standard converters or pre-filled ink cartridges, giving you the flexibility to use either bottled ink or pre-filled ink cartridge or use with Osprey custom converter. 
  •  #5.5 Ultra-flex, #6 Ultra-flex (second generation), Zebra G or Titanium Ultra-flex assemblies:  Ultra-flex (UF) nibs are for ardent calligraphy users! You can purchase these as complete assembly for a seamless plug & play experience, or buy just nib units to swap. The assembly consists of an ultra-flex nib unit of your choice, which threads into the Outer Section of the pen, and comes with an Osprey converter. Only fountain-pen friendly inks  are recommended to avoid clogging the feed.

All ultra-flex and Zebra G nib units come with ebonite feed. Size 5.5 Ultra-flex, Zebra G Flex and Titanium Ultra-flex are non-cartridge type, meaning they do not take any prefilled ink cartridges or international converters. They are made to work with custom Osprey converters. Size 6 Ultra-flex nib units (second generation) on the other hand, take both, cartridge or  converter, which means you can use prefilled ink cartridges or use bottled ink.

    If you choose #5.5Ultra-flex or Zebra G flex nib-units/assemblies, be sure to add a nib-block kit , if you don't already have one. You can download a maintenance guide that helps in easy disassembly and assembly, when the feeds get clogged over time with use. The nib block does not accommodate size 6 nibs, you will instead need to use the grip provided in the kit for disassembly and assembly.

    I’ve tried out just one of the 3 nibs I ordered, but so far, I’m very impressed with the smooth ink flow!

    Beautiful design, materials and craftsmanship. The optional Ultra-flex titanium nib and ebonite feed are very satisfying. Exceptional value for a first-rate fountain pen. As a longtime collector, I highly recommend.

    Wonderful, affordable pen with great nib selection!

    I have a number of fountain pens, most in the entry - mid level ($20-150 range) including Parkers, Schaeffer, Pilots and Waterman. I also use dip pens for art and occasional dabbling with calligraphic elements for art. When I saw the Milano with it’s Zebra G nib option, I had to give it a try!

    Glad I did!

    Got the multi-nib package, with a Zebra G and a steel EF. Both are WONDERFUL. This pen is now one of my daily rotation pens on my desk. Best of all I now have two nib sections and converters for the pen (THANK YOU for offering that package!) so I have one for long writing sessions and another for more calligraphic effects and artistic efforts. Take me ~20 seconds to swap them out and go to town. Love that!

    And Customer service is ACES! Had an issue with one of the nibs (tïnes misaligned), Osprey responded to my email within 30 minutes and offered to replace the entire nib section or nib (if I was comfortable replacing the nib in my existing section) 3 days later new nib was in my hands and ready to be used. In the mean time I really enjoyed writing with the other nib.

    Best customer service

    I am a bit of a pen collector and the Milano Tanzanite looked very interesting so I purchased one. It is a well-made pen with excellent balance, the fine nib is just wet enough and smooth enough that I did not have to do anything to it. Unfortunately, after using it for about a week I had an ink leak and suspected the converter. I sent an email to customer support at about 9 PM EST. To my amazement, I had a nearly instant response and subsequent phone call to identify my specific problem and immediately suggest options of repair as well as sending me a whole new Tanzanite blue section and pre-tested attached converter. I was already happy with the pen now I am very pleased with the company behind it. I will be purchasing more from them in the future.

    Review

    I purchased the pen and was looking forward to it. When I received it, filled it, and started to write with it, it was dry and scratchy. Although the pen felt great in my hand, love the balance and feel. I did not want to return it. Emailed Customer support, and was surprised at the A++++++ response, fast and efficient. They said they will send me another pen. But I said all I wanted was a replacement nib.
    So they did. Received it within a few days. Replaced the nib and holly Moses, wrote like butter, Smooth, and wet.
    Use this pen almost daily. Love it. Thank you. I have purchased a second pen as a gift.
