"The dependable craftsmanship of Ballograf, one of Sweden’s most established writing instrument makers. Founded in Gothenburg in 1945, Ballograf is renowned for combining Scandinavian functional design with durable engineering, creating pens that embody reliability, simplicity and long-lasting performance. Ballograf developed their specially formulated blue ballpoint ink in the 1960s to meet strict durability and lightfastness standards required for official documents in Sweden. This ink became closely associated with use by the Swedish postal system (Posten Sverige) and other public authorities. The blue ink refills are permanent, fade-resistant, water-resistant and suitable for archival purposes."
A phenomenal pen, wonderful balance from the material choices with the weight leaning slightly to the front. Great ink flow though I have no doubt an ebonite feed would have improved it. Arrived with quite a scratchy extra fine but I sorted that with little effort and honestly there is simply no beating the unique filling system or the absolutely perfect engineering and tolerances evident in Roy’s creation. Puts all else to shame (except maybe Gravitas of course).
Emy and the team were fantastic in arranging the shipping to perfection and keeping me informed himself throughout!

The Leonardo DNA pen is amazing, and it was made better by a personal note and some nib tuning fy Pen Venture. I'm impressed with the service and care, and will be back again when the pen-acquisition-itch hits! Thank you so much!
