Delta fountain pens are handcrafted pieces made in Italy. This prestigious firm born in 1982 is characterized by a quality corroborated by the good work of its master craftsmen. Delta is, in short, "Art, Design and Quality". In the realization of their exclusive fountain pens, they use a variety of techniques and materials such as carbon, titanium, celluloid, ebonite, special resins or metals and precious materials.

On the mechanical side, Delta's hallmark was the use of the side lever and the rubber inner barrel as the standard loading system for its limited editions. Its models evoked great cultural moments in the history of Italy, which is like saying the history of art. He immediately opted for the production of commemorative special editions that not only referred to cultural or historical aspects but also to current events such as the models produced to commemorate the 1994 G7 or the Jubilaeum to commemorate the year 2000.
