The Ultimate vice one can have is probably gambling. A game of chance, betting on the outcome of a future event.

Psychologist believe that the real attraction of gambling lies in the thrill and tensions of uncertainty, the daring involved in taking chances, the challenge of testing one’s skill and luck, the satisfaction of beating one’s opponent and the dream of sudden good fortune.

Inspiration to continue the theme from preceding annual editions, Montegrappa presents the 1999 Annual Edition "The Queen of Hearts."

Produced with the technique exclusive Montegrappa, the low-relief engraving of the Four Suits in exquisite detail graces the cap and barrel of this yet another masterpiece.

Coupled with a special resin in green, representing the velvet that underlines the playing tables and finished with a perfect sculpture of Lady Luck on the signature rolling clip, hence the name The Queen of Hearts for this annual edition.

Encased in a box of wood and velvet with complimentary professional dices and goblet to satisfy even the "King of Gamblers."

Available in both fountain and roller ball pens in sterling silver throughout 1999with the 18kt Gold version limited only to 100 pieces in fountain and 10 in roller ball pens.

Nothing is left to CHANCE when Montegrappa presents to you

"The Privilege of A Lifetime."
