Montegrappa flashes the Peace sign

To celebrate the peace sign and all it symbolises, Montegrappa has created a limited edition to mark the the year of its creation, with 1958 pieces each in the formats of fountain pen, rollerball and ballpoint pen in Pearl Grey resin and stainless steel trim. The fountain pen is both cartridge and converter fed, and the nib is made in 18k gold, embellished with the symbolic Dove of peace etching.

Montegrappa has applied the peace symbol characterised by a sky-blue enamel filling to the pen’s cap top and the end of the signature clip. Of special significance is the design that decorates the pen’s resin barrel and cap, its subtle meaning recalling the concept that “the pen is mightier than the sword”: engraved in the two sections is the word for “peace” in 12 different languages.

Normal fonts would not suffice. Instead, the Pen of Peace is adorned with exquisitely executed mono-word calligraphic artwork, created especially for Montegrappa by Joke Weidmann, one of the world’s most skilled calligraphers.
