Montblanc’s Limited Edition, United Kingdom exclusive, Sir Winston Churchill Fountain Pen celebrates the distinguished leader’s legacy as an inspirational Prime Minister, Nobel Prize winning Historian, Orator and an artist.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, (1874-1965) was a British statesman who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1940 to 1945, during the Second World War, and again from 1951 to 1955.
Churchill was also an officer in the British Army and he is widely regarded as one of the great wartime leaders. He was a British citizen, but in 1963, Churchill was the first person to be honored by the United States Congress and President John F. Kennedy as an honorary American citizen of the United States.
Paying tribute to the worldwide known statesman and Nobel price winner: Sir Winston Churchill – the limitation number refers to the year, in which Churchill was knighted by Queen Elisabeth II, in 1953. Sir Winston Churchill was voted the greatest Briton of all time for his courageous dedication to the cause of freedom. This stout, elegant pen testifies to the great Briton’s iron will and determination, while the pen’s radiant facets reflect the light of hope he gave to his countrymen in Britain’s darkest hour.
This pen’s aesthetic and historic virtues, in combination with its uncommon miniature size, heft, and undeniable magnetism, make it perhaps Montblanc’s proudest achievement in modern limited edition pens. Each one of these highly exclusive writing instruments was made by a master craftsman using the finest materials and applying the utmost precision.
