The beauty of the Montegrappa Mermaid (LA
SIRENA), Annual Edition 1998, makes one dream. It was born from
the idea and design of the company's designer, Leopoldo Aquila. It is an
authentic writing jewel, a small sculpture that represents marine elements
and a fanciful mermaid curving sinuously around the pen barrel. The
extraordinary cohesion that results, provokes one to dream of the
impenetrable ocean depths, on the surface a ray of light flares.
There is a piston loading mechanism and ample capacity
reservoir which can be checked constantly by means of a small transparent
window that can be glimpsed though the sculpture on the barrel.
The nib with which Montegrappa adorns this superb
fountain pen is in 18K plantium plated gold. The well regulated ink flow
is constant and guaranteed from the Hand turned ebonite feeder.
The Clip, another sculpture in miniature, represents a
marvelous mermaid, her hair blowing in the wind, her tail bears the
characteristic rolling-ball element that distinguishes the house of MONTEGRAPPA.
This precious jewel is preserved in an exclusive casket
that is reminiscent in design to the chests that the buccaneers and
pirates used to protect their treasure.
