Description from the seller

# Montegrappa My Guardian Angel Limited Edition – Prototype Fountain Pen

An extraordinary example of Montegrappa’s artistry, the My Guardian Angel fountain pen embodies spiritual symbolism and Italian craftsmanship at its finest. Recipient of the 2014 Couture Design Award, it is celebrated for its talismanic design and sculptural beauty.

This particular piece is an exceptionally rare prototype, offering collectors the opportunity to own a distinctive example connected to the development of this remarkable model.

The pen features a cloud-inspired celluloid core, enveloped in intricate lost-wax cast sterling silver and enhanced with turquoise inlays symbolising serenity and protection. Its most striking detail is the clip shaped as an angel’s wing, representing guidance and the eternal presence of a guardian spirit.

Please note that, as this is a prototype, the cap and barrel are not perfectly aligned when the pen is closed. This is a characteristic of this specific prototype piece and should be carefully considered before purchase. Please refer to the photographs for the exact condition and alignment of the pen.

Key Features:

* Exceptionally rare prototype piece
* Inspired by the symbolism of a guardian angel
* Cloud-inspired celluloid core
* Intricate lost-wax cast sterling silver overlay
* Turquoise inlays symbolising serenity and protection
* Sculptural clip shaped as an angel’s wing
* Limited edition design based on a production of 1,960 pieces worldwide
* This prototype is marked No. 7/1960
* Recipient of the 2014 Couture Design Award

A writing instrument of profound symbolism and beauty, this prototype fountain pen is both a collector’s treasure and a remarkable example of Italian craftsmanship. Its prototype status, combined with the low edition number 7, makes it a particularly distinctive piece for discerning Montegrappa collectors.

Please carefully review all photographs and details before purchasing. Due to the prototype nature of this pen and the cap-to-barrel alignment characteristic described above, this detail forms part of the uniqueness of this specific piece.
