MONTBLANC OCTAVIAN FOUNTAIN PEN MINT, COMPLETE # 1720/4810 FINE NIB, RARE. FOUNTAIN PEN PEN BY MONTBLANC – MINT, NEVER USED, DIPPED OR FILLED, IN THE ORIGINAL BOX, WITH THE ORIGINAL BOOKLET AND THE OUTER BOX. CREATED IN 1993 AS A TRIBUTE TO THE ROMAN EMPEROR – OCTAVIAN AUGUSTUS, IT IS CONSIDERED ONE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEN IN THE PATRON OF ART SERIES. IT IS THE SECOND OFFERING BY MONTBLANC, FOLLOWING THE VERY SUCCESSFUL LORENZO DE MEDICI, LAUNCHED IN 1992. SOLID GOLD NIB IS CAREFULLY HAND CRAFTED AND ADORNED WITH A SPIDER – A SYMBOL OF WISDOM IN ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME, WHILE THE BODY IS SKILLFULLY ENVELOPED BY A SPIDER WEB WITH AGAIN THE SPIDER IN ITS CENTER. THE CAP DEPICTS THE SAME SPIDER IN ITS WEB MOTIFF, REFERING TO THE TIGHT CENTRALIZED COMMAND AND CONTROL (WEB) OCTAVIAN ESTABLISHED IN HIS ROMAN EMPIRE WITH HIMSELF (SPIDER) IN ITS CENTER. THE ARACHNOID DOMAIN ON PEN’S CAP AND BARREL IS EXECUTED IN STERLING 925 SILVER OVERLAY “ENTANGLING” THE BLACK PRECIOUS RESIN BODY OF THE PEN. THE OVERALL APPEARANCE OF THIS PEN IS STUNNING. THIS PEN IS A COVETED DREAM OF MANY SERIOUS COLLECTORS OF MODERN WRITING INSTRUMENTS. ITS ORIGINS TRACES BACK TO 1920’S POPULAR SILVER OVERLAYED SAFETY PENS. MONTBLANC USED THIS OPPORTUNITY AND CREATED A GREAT OCCASION TO BRING BACK THE ALLEGORICAL SPIDER SO INTRICATELY DEPICTING OCTAVIAN’S ROLE IN STRENGHTHENING ROME AND ITS WEB OF INFULENCES IN ACIENT TIMES. IT IS MY FAVORITE IN THE PATRONS’ SERIES. THE PEN WAS NEVER USED, FILLED, OR DIPPED! IT HAS BEEN KEPT IN ITS WOODEN BOX IN THE AIRTIGHT SAFE. FINE POINT 18 CARAT GOLD NIB. NIB SIZE – FINE.
