I don't know if my question fits this section of the forum, but I'll give it a try...
I must tell you that I'm in love with Montegrappa fountain pens. And especially with "citta' d'arte venezia" limited edition model... Do you have any idea where can I find this model or other Montegrappa replicas? I mean...a trustfull dealer...? Any feedback is welcome.

I dont think so, the only replica pens I have seen are mont-blanc or something like that, sorry

Hello Al
Ask the dealers, some have pens in their sections or web sites.

Fountain pen reps are bound to have crappy mechs and last rate nibs. I wouldn't bother if you want to actually use them. Buy a nice Sawdust & Ink original instead.

Check the "fountain pen network"... buy Gen and buy used. I have never seen a Rep fountain pen worth writing with.

Hi - there are no Montegrappa reps as far as I can find. They certainly do have some lovely models, but then so do so many makers!

Cara D'ache, Jean Pierre Lepine to name a couple

... and FWIW just because someone makes a pen with a certain brand name on it, has no bearing on it being a replica of anything.
