Delta - Garibaldi - Roller ball pen

The Collection Limited to just 7 pieces in 18kt solid gold and 8 pieces in 925% solid silver, the Celebration versions (Gold and Silver) are both embellished with miniature paintings depicting Giuseppe Garibaldi in epic battle scenes. The Giuseppe Garibaldi Limited Edition also includes 807 special fountain pens (1KS version), crafted through meticulous lacquering and enameling on silver, handcrafted using ancient miniature techniques. Each pen is individually painted with a brush by expert hands. The thin layers of lacquer that delicately cover the burin-engraved silver base reproduce the glazes and the characteristic colors of the oil painting technique of the academic tradition of the late 19th century. Finally, a fine layer of transparent enamel envelops and protects the miniature. While the execution technique is ancient, the materials used in the decorations are modern and therefore completely non-toxic and hypoallergenic, in full compliance with current regulations. The ink filling system is piston-filled; furthermore, 1,807 fountain pens (1K version the one in thai auction) are provided, hand-engraved on solid silver blocks, with a cartridge filling system and screw converter, and an equal number of rollerballs that can easily be converted to ballpoint pens. The clip Made of solid silver (for the 1ks, 1k, and R2 versions), it symbolizes, in a stylized way, the fusion of the sword models used by Garibaldi into a single body. Loading System The 1k version accepts both the screw-type converter and standard cartridges. Each lavish and specially dedicated package of the original "I obey" telegram, the original kept in the archives, includes a unique, numbered ANASTATIC COPY held at the General State Archives in Rome. By agreement with the Archives' Directorate, Delta - Artigiani della Scrittura holds the exclusive worldwide rights to authentic Anastatic Copies of historical documents and handwritten signatures belonging to those men who made our country great.
