This exceptional writing instrument comes complete with its original presentation box and Loiminchay service literature. Most importantly, this fountain pen has never been inked, and we consider it to remain in Mint, New Old Stock condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Riviera is one of Loiminchay’s most visually captivating modern creations, immediately distinguished by its luminous ocean-blue transparent demonstrator body. The translucent resin evokes the clarity and movement of tropical water, while the highly detailed Sterling Silver dolphin clip transforms the pen from a simple writing instrument into a true piece of functional art. The dolphin motif perfectly complements the Riviera theme, capturing the elegance and motion associated with calm crystal-blue seas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap threads securely and evenly onto the barrel with excellent precision, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship associated with Loiminchay fountain pens. There are no monograms, engravings, cracks, chips, dings, dents, or repairs to either the cap or barrel. The pen measures approximately 5 1\/2\" inches capped, 6 3\/4\" inches posted, and weighs 1.19 ounces, giving it a substantial yet balanced feel in hand—large enough to feel luxurious, while still remaining comfortable for extended writing sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated on the collar ring just below the nib is the Limited Edition numbering, stamped “48\/200.” Interestingly, it has been noted within collector circles that actual production numbers may have been far lower than originally intended, with estimates suggesting only 350 units were made of the planned 2000 edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen is fitted with a beautiful 18K solid gold two-tone Medium nib, stamped with an “M” designation. Measured with digital calipers, the iridium tipping measures approximately 0.76mm. The nib remains in pristine, untouched condition, as the pen has never been inked nor dip-tested since leaving the factory. Loiminchay nibs have earned a reputation for exceptionally smooth and refined writing performance, and based on the several Loiminchay fountain pens I have personally owned over the years, I would certainly agree with that assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilling is accomplished via an integrated piston filling system, offering both convenience and substantial ink capacity. The piston mechanism has been carefully tested with water and operates exactly as intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Loiminchay Riviera represents the company’s artistic approach to fine writing instruments—blending vivid color, precious metals, and imaginative sculptural detail into a pen that feels both luxurious and highly collectible. The cool translucent blue resin paired with the elegant Sterling Silver dolphin clip creates an unmistakable nautical theme, reminiscent of sunlight dancing across calm ocean waters beneath a brilliant blue sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn exceptionally scarce and visually striking Loiminchay demonstrator, preserved in Mint condition and never inked—an outstanding opportunity for the serious collector or discerning fountain pen enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique Digger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49128296972596,"sku":null,"price":738.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1862\/4123\/files\/2008LoiminchayRivieraLimitedEditionBlueandSterlingFountainPen1.jpg?v=1778867056","url":"https:\/\/antiquedigger.com\/en-ca\/products\/2008-loiminchay-riviera-limited-edition-blue-ocean-18k-m-nib-fountain-pen-new-in-box","provider":"Antique Digger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
