Montegrappa 80th Anniversary Limited Edition Fountain Pen
This pen is lovingly used and comes complete with a box, papers and the metal pen tube. It is equipped with an 18k Fine nib and fills via a Cartridge Convertor/Cartridge (included).
An important milestone needs to be celebrated in an iconic way: so Montegrappa decided to celebrate, in 1992, the eightieth year of activity with a pen coveted by collectors. This is the first limited edition that bears the signature of the Made in Italy brand of luxury writing instruments.
The 80th Anniversary pen was born as a celebration of Reminiscence, the historic octagonal model that conquered the fountain pen market in 1915. A milestone in the history of Montegrappa, with the characteristic 18K gold nib, and the elegant clip with rotating ball (affectionately christened with the name “ruzzolino”).
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of its activity, Montegrappa has decided to pay homage to the exclusive technique of bas-relief engraving, the result of years of research. The body and the hood are produced with the drawing technique, which requires precision and skillful dexterity.
This action is then followed by the threading of the body and the cap obtained by deformation of the material performed by hand. Of the first limited edition Montegrappa were produced 1,912 pieces, just the figures that make up the year of the foundation of the oldest Italian company of writing instruments.
