AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Montegrappa Snake 2013 – Solid 18K Gold Limited Edition (Sample)
Occupying the 6th position in the Chinese Zodiac, the Snake’s fixed element is fire – representing wisdom, intuition, transformation, and refined elegance. In Chinese culture, the Snake is admired for its sharp intellect, calm strength, and ability to navigate life with strategy rather than force.
Those born in the Year of the Snake are insightful, philosophical, graceful, and naturally charming. They possess a quiet confidence and keen perception, often seeing solutions before others even recognize the problem. Known for their creativity and magnetism, they embody sophistication and depth. Famous Snake-year personalities include Pablo Picasso, John F. Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, Bob Dylan, Muhammad Ali, and J. K. Rowling – all individuals marked by brilliance, charisma, and a distinctive presence.
The Montegrappa Snake 2013 is a tribute to this powerful and enigmatic spirit. Crafted from deep black resin and adorned with an intricate die-cast overlay in solid 18K yellow gold, the barrel depicts a beautifully detailed snake captured in lifelike, fluid motion. The craftsmanship highlights the creature’s elegance, mystery, and symbolic strength.
This pen is not part of the numbered limited editions. It is a rare factory sample. Unlike the official releases limited to 88 fountain pens and 88 rollerball pens in solid gold, this sample has no edition number. Its unnumbered status makes it significantly more exclusive and desirable for serious collectors who seek true rarity.
Specifications:
Fountain pen with ebonite feeder and an 18K gold nib in Medium point. Cartridge or converter filling system. Limited Edition: 88 Fountain Pens and 88 Rollerball Pens crafted in solid 18K gold. This item is an unnumbered sample and therefore unique. Packaging: Luxurious walnut presentation box.
Shipping:
Fast, secure express courier shipping with full tracking. Ships the same day once payment is cleared. Meticulously packed to ensure safe arrival anywhere in the world.
This is an opportunity to own a writing instrument that represents prestige, artistry, and exceptional craftsmanship. For collectors who value rarity, symbolism, and gold masterpieces, this pen is a singular treasure.
