Well here is one more happy customer that you don't have to worry about! I received mine just fine Dario.
The only minor problem was that an ink cartridge for a fountain pen leaked, but the cartridge was sealed in a plastic bag so the ink did not get on anything else. The only reason I mention it here is to remind us all, (myself included), that we should be sure to seal up those cartridges before shipping a fountain pen to a customer.
Anyway, not to worry Dario, all is well here.[
] And again I thank you for your brave endeavor in doing this for all of us.
