in 1982 Nino Marino co-founded an Italian pen company with global reach, Delta s.r.l. Fans in the United States prized Delta pens for their traditional Italian hand-turned ebonite, celluloid, acrylic, precious metal, and wood bodies with innovative filling systems and nib options. Delta was instrumental in the renaissance that Italian pen making experienced through the 1980s and ’90s. In 2017, production at Delta temporarily stopped until Marino, a dynamic figure in the pen industry, was able to announce the long-awaited return of Delta in 2022, and celebrate the 40 years since it’s founding. For this important anniversary, the Delta 39+1 maintains the artistic and technical excellence associated with the brand. The new 39+1 fountain is a limited edition of only 399 unique pieces, made of a rare celluloid with a very original design element – an unprecedented weight balancing system, patented under the name ‘Write Balance.’ At the barrel end of the fountain pen is a threaded cone which holds a two-gram, gold-plated removable weight. With the weight inserted into the cone, the pen’s balance is toward the back end, meaning that the user’s hand is more involved in the writing. This center of gravity is often preferred by calligraphers and lettering artists for greater control of the pen’s movement. With the weight removed, the balance shifts toward the front, so the pen is doing the work, not your hand – great for long writing sessions and casual notes. You get to choose the best balance for your grip and writing style. The cartridge/converter/eyedropper-fill fountain pen has an 18K gold nib engraved with the Delta logo; 14k gold nib in flexible fine also available. The rare mottled brown and black celluloid of the 39+1 is hand turned and highly polished, with gold-plated accents. The barrel’s rounded body ends in the conical blind cap holding the two-gram weight. The rolling ring clip is topped by a 925 sterling silver vermeil cap band cast with an ancient Pompeiian design. Delta 39 + 1 Anniversary fountain pen.

Continuing Delta’s tradition of honoring Indigenous peoples throughout the world, for 2015 Delta looks to Papua, New Guinea, where the Asaro Mudmen warriors once used their cunning to trick their enemies into believing they were spirits by covering themselves in mud and donning frightful masks. Today, to thank and honor those spirits, the Asaro Mudmen make masks with unusual designs such as large eyes featuring extended eyebrows, long or very short ears, even some with horns. The diabolically long fingernails affixed to their hands complete the picture that must have petrified their enemies so long ago. All of the Indigenous Peoples collections are the result of collaboration between Delta’s in-house production team and the creative intellect and styling of Milanese sculptor and designer Francesco Rienzi. Delta and Rienzi offer a perfect journey traveling around the world to rediscover all the indigenous peoples that are to some extent forgotten, but still firmly tied to their history, culture, tradition and religion. The Papuasi Limited Edition collection is available in four stunning versions with each pen turned by hand from Italian resin, individually numbered and luxuriously gift boxed. Only 975 of the three standard models and 34 of the Celebration fountain pens will be produced. The fountain pens are enhanced with an 18k Fusion nib, in either button fill or cartridge/converter fill (converter included).

In 1992, Delta, through collaboration with Momo Design, was the first manufacturer to utilize titanium and carbon fiber in the production of writing instruments. In 2012, Momo design celebrated its 30th Anniversary and the two companies once again joined forces in the creation of a groundbreaking collection of writing instruments.

With the launch of the Limited Edition Vatican Museum Pen Collection, Delta pays homage to the innovative 19th century architect and engineer Giuseppe Momo. Born in Vercelli in 1875, Giuseppe Momo is famous for his work featured in many important religious buildings throughout Italy, especially in Turin and Piedmont. In 1932 Pope Pius XI commissioned Momo to transform the Vatican by designing a new entry allowing access for visitors to the exhibition grounds of the Vatican Museum. His design was highlighted by the incredible Double Helical Staircase which took over two years to complete. The Vatican Museum features several impressive galleries of artwork and artifacts collected by popes over many centuries. Displays include the Raphael rooms and the famous painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, as well as other masterpieces. Made up of two wrought iron intertwined spirals; one leading upwards, one downwards shaped like a double helix, the staircase itself serves as an impressive work of art in its own right. Delta, using traditional jewelry techniques, the vibrant orange resin cap is encased in a deep relief overlay in solid bronze, which reflects both the shape of, as well as design features, from the Momo staircase. The cap top is finished to reflect the design of the skylight located at the top of the Momo Staircase. The barrel is fashioned of a highly polished jet black resin, set off by a band of matching bright orange marble resin and sterling silver. Each version of the pen is limited to 1932 pieces worldwide.

The Bribri people of Costa Rica are honored in the latest edition of Delta*s celebrated Indigenous Peoples collection of limited writing instruments. The Bribri are an American Aboriginal people living in the forests and Caribbean coastal areas of Costa Rica. Given their right to live on their lands in 1977, the Bribri today are full members of modern society while retaining their native language and customs. The caps and barrels are turned by hand from solid bars of special resin. The end of the cap is adorned with a cabochon that, in relief, portrays an ancient breastplate medallion of pre-Colombian goldsmith art. The clip depicts a frog standing in a tree branch (in the geographic area where the Bribri people are located there are more than 100 different species of frogs), while the central ring reproduces a Bribri tribal mask. These detailed parts are obtained from a traditional metal fusion lost wax technique synonymous with pure craftsmanship, which are polished by hand and finished with plating in either precious rhodium or solid gold (depending on the version). Limited to 977 pieces of each mode, the collection consists of a piston-filled fountain pen, available in either gold or rhodium trim; a cartridge/converter filled fountain pen (converter is included); a capped rollerball and a twist-action ball pen (all with precious rhodium trim). All fountain pens in the collection are fitted with the Delta’s revolutionary Fusion nib encompassing the fusing of a combination of various metals such as 18 carat solid gold and steel alloy, resulting in a more functional fountain pen.

Delta proudly introduces the eighth collection in the Indigenous People series. The Maya civilization began around 1500 B.C., though some archaeologists speculate that the civilization had its beginnings earlier since artifacts like pottery have been found from around 2000 B.C. The Maya civilization extended throughout the southern Mexican states and into the northern Central America area comprising parts of present-day Guatamala, Belize, El Salvador and Honduras. The Mayan civilization is regarded as among the most sophisticated of classical cultures. The ancient Mayans are known for having built magnificent cities with sophisticated art and architecture. They are also known to have been quite advanced in astronomy, arithmetic, and language. The Maya writing system is made up of 800 pictographic and syllabic glyphs. Mayan hieroglyphic writing is a constant source of wonder to scholars, as is the advanced calendar system that they developed to keep track of days and predict the future. The Maya calculation of the length of the solar year was somewhat superior to the Gregorian calendar. According to the Maya, the world will end on December 21, 2012 AD. There are 28 Mayan languages still spoken by about 6 million people in Central America and Mexico.
Each pen is hand-turned from a solid bar of specially designed blue and red resin representing the colors commonly used by the Maya warrior for body paint and in their garb. The pen’s central ring’s décor was used in Mayan pottery. The clip represents a typical Mayan double clay flute. The Limited Edition comprises 800 fountain pens and twist-action ball pens, with the clip and central ring in .925 sterling silver and the fountain pen’s filling system by converter or cartridge. The ball pen features a twist mechanism and easily converts into a rollerball with a simple refill change. The Maya collection includes 800 Special Edition fountain pens with vermeil (gold-plating over sterling silver) clip and central ring, with Delta’s push button filling system. Both fountain pens are enhanced with 18 kt. solid gold nibs available in Medium, Fine, Extra Fine and Broad widths.

The Mapuche people were the first inhabitants of half of the area today known as Chile and Argentina. Before the Spanish arrived in 1541, the Mapuche occupied a vast territory in the Southern Cone of the continent. The Mapuche nation now constitutes the third largest indigenous society in South America. A century after their arrival, the Spanish signed the Treaty of Quillin (1641) which defined frontiers with the Mapuche nation. With the defeat of the Spanish by the newly formed states of Argentina and Chile in 1810, the original treaties of 1641 were abrogated. Under the pretext of promoting civilization and Christianity, the Mapuche people suffered territorial conquest, military aggression and persecution resulting in the destruction of entire communities. Today, the new democratic government in Chile has provided financial support for Mapuche groups. The call now is for judicious funding of projects that the Mapuche themselves plan. The Mapuche persist in demanding respect for their rights as a people, the return of their lands, and justice and freedom.
The collection is hand turned from solid bars of a specially designed dark grey resin interleaved with jagged layers of white resin, portraying rock formation commonly found in the region. The pens feature a solid sterling silver ring decorated with drawings from the Mapuche flag. A medal on the cap is engraved with a picture of the Mapuche calendar portrayed in the flag as well as rings in resin in same colors as the flag.
The sterling clip features a three-dimensional representation of the typical tribal totem, called Chemamull.

The collection is comprised of 541 numbered Special Edition fountain pens in vermeil trim (gold-plating over sterling silver) with a push button filling system. The Limited Edition comprises both 1,541 numbered fountain pens, cartridge/converter filling, and 1,541 ball pens with sterling silver trim. Each fountain pen is enhanced with an 18 kt gold nib, available in M, F, XF and B widths. The ball pens are easily convertible into rollerballs.

The Mapuche nation now constitutes the third largest indigenous society in South America. A century after their arrival, the Spanish signed the Treaty of Quillin (1641) which defined frontiers with the Mapuche nation. With the defeat of the Spanish by the newly formed states of Argentina and Chile in 1810, the original treaties of 1641 were abrogated. Under the pretext of promoting civilization and Christianity, the Mapuche people suffered territorial conquest, military aggression and persecution resulting in the destruction of entire communities. Today, the new democratic government in Chile has provided financial support for Mapuche groups. The call now is for judicious funding of projects that the Mapuche themselves plan. The Mapuche persist in demanding respect for their rights as a people, the return of their lands, and justice and freedom.
The collection is hand turned from solid bars of a specially designed dark grey resin interleaved with jagged layers of white resin, portraying rock formation commonly found in the region. The pens feature a solid sterling silver ring decorated with drawings from the Mapuche flag. A medal on the cap is engraved with a picture of the Mapuche calendar portrayed in the flag as well as rings in resin in same colors as the flag.
The sterling clip features a three-dimensional representation of the typical tribal totem, called Chemamull.

Diego Velasquez, the 17th century Spanish painter who was the official painter for the royal court, is considered to have been the principal exponent of the Baroque style of painting. “Las Meninas”, a painting from 1656, presently housed in the world-famous Prado Museum in Madrid, is perhaps his most recognized masterpiece, showing the infanta Margarita surrounded by her maids of honor. In tribute to the genius of Velasquez, Delta proudly presents its first button-filling fountain pen, in a transparent demonstrator, limited edition of 656 fountain pens. The button-filler/bottle-fill only system has a historic place in the evolution of fountain pens, taking its place alongside the lever filler in the 1910’s.

Giacomo Puccini was born in Lucca, Italy, in 1858, into a family with a long history of music. At age 14 he was a church organist and choirmaster, but it was not until he saw a performance of Verdi's “Aida” that he became inspired to be an opera composer. In 1882 he wrote a one-act opera, “Le Villi” that caught the attention of Giulio Ricordi, who commissioned a second opera, “Edgar” (1889). “Manon Lescaut” (1893), his third opera, was a great success. It launched his remarkable relationship with the librettists Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, who collaborated with him on his next three operas: “La Bohčme” (1896), “Tosca” (1900), and “Madame Butterfly” (1904). Composition was slow after this. He died on November 29, 1924. Another composer finished “Turandot”, his last opera, but when it was performed the orchestra stopped, the performers froze in position and the conductor turned to the audience and said: Here the opera finishes, because at this point the Maestro died . Hand-turned from a solid bar of special ruby resin, the Puccini collection is trimmed in solid sterling silver: 858 fountain pens are offered with lateral lever filling system, 1858 fountain pens are cartridge/converter fill, and 1858 rollerballs with cap, which are easily convertible into ball pens by a simple refill change.

The 18 kt solid gold nib also portrays sound waves and is available in M, F, XF and B.

Delta dedicates their eighth Indigenous People Collection to the remarkable natives of the Amazon rainforests of Brazil. The Irmaos no Mundo (Brothers of the World) have lived in the Brazilian rainforests for thousands of years. In the year 1500, Portuguese explorers discovered these semi-nomadic peoples. They were called “Indios” (Portuguese for “Indians”). Five centuries ago, an estimated 2000 tribes had a combined population numbering in the millions.

Delta’s continuing commitment to celebrate the world’s most enduring and unchanged cultures is realized in AINU, dedicated to the people of Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido. First “discovered” in 1643 by the Dutch sailor Maerten Vries, the Ainu produced artistic tributes to Nature and Mankind that are highly treasured by museums and collectors. The men let their hair and beards grow to unusually long lengths and the women tattooed their lips and forearms to prevent evil spirits from entering their bodies. Today’s Ainu inhabit parts of Hokkaido, Sakhalin, and the Kuril Islands. The variegated blue resin is accented with colored resin rings. The clip features a three-dimensional “Nipopo” (wooden baby) and the fountain pen nib is engraved with a “Tamasay” (a ceremonial glass bead necklace passed from generation to generation by Ainu women). The collection includes a limited edition of 1643 fountain pens in vermeil (lateral lever fill) and also 1643 fountain pens in .925 sterling silver, cartridge/converter fill. The fountain pens are enhanced with an 18kt gold nib, available in M, F, XF and B. A convertible ball/gel pen is available in sterling silver trim with only 1643 pens worldwide.
