From Delta's literature... "A timeless classic encounters the fascination of the Island of Capri. Delta, one of the few Italian owned companies that still produces writing instruments using old techniques and well into its third decade of activity, has created in collaboration with the Capri Institute a collection of writing instruments named “Capri”. Delta has created two versions based on this Island’s classic colors available in two different sizes, his and hers. The Marina Collection is gender specific. There is a light blue, smaller version for women and a larger deep blue version for men. Both versions are artistically conceived and realized in custom handmade, hand turned acrylic with hand cast precious metal trim. Marina Piccola for her in a light blue resin and Marina Grande for him in a dark blue sea color. The Capri writing instruments are made of special resin worked by hand from solid bars and polished to a mirror like surface in colors chosen to match the distinct and characteristic blue of this island. The central ring of the Marina Piccola and Marina Grande are also carved by hand and are in 925% solid sterling silver and portrays a classic Icon from Capri. In the cap’s extremity a carved plaque offers a replica of the famous timepiece from Capri’s main piazza. Delta is one of the very few Italian Pen makers that still completes every aspect of their craft in Italy. Old World, Italian craftsmanship is manifested beautifully in the Capri, Blue Grotto collection. These pens were created in collaboration with The Capri Institute."
BODY & CAP: Special resins created, developed, hand formed and polished to a mirror finish in colors that match the special blue colors of Capri waters. CABACHON: Replicates giant clock in Capri’s main Piazza in hand-carved .925% Sterling Silver. CENTRAL RING: Solid hand carved .925% Sterling Silver, portraying waves against the Capri Shoreline. Pictograph recreates classic, marine and submarine themes. CLIP: Hand carved in .925% Sterling Silver portraying waves “embracing” the island. ALL trim is covered in Platinum mask.

Fountain Pens: Capped Cap held aside Posted Marina Grande 5-3/8" 4-3/4" 5-3/4" Marina Piccola 4-1/2" 4-1/8" 5-1/8"
Rollerball: Marina Grande 5-1/8" 4-1/2" 5-1/2" Marina Piccola 4-1/2" 4" 5-1/8"
Ballpen: Marina Grande 5-3/8" Marina Piccola 4-1/2"
So, even the Marina Grande series are not particularly large pens, and the Marina Piccola versions can be considered to be mini pens.
NOTE: I don't regularly stock the large line of Delta pens, and consequently can offer a special pre-order sale price of approximately 20%-off of the suggested retail price for the entire Delta collection. I order approximately once per week (please specify nib size preferred, if ordering fountain pens), at: orders@hisnibs.com. For all of Delta's offerings, please take a look at YAFA's website (they are the importer of Delta pens for the United States) here, and just let me know what you'd like (including Delta's outstanding limited edition pens!).
IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment. Should you wish to return a
non-defective item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit
you for some reason, again please email us and we'll arrange an
exchange, credit or refund (minus any shipping/insurance charges),
if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition. If you've dipped a
fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean off
any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty
surprise We want you to be happy with your purchase from His Nibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
