Welcome to- The Fountain Pen Community!

From the M. Website is the following information: Marostica is a charming little town surrounded by splendid protective town walls. This medieval hamlet, close to Montegrappa?s offices, is visited every day by curious tourists that come to admire the enormous chessboard of the Piazza, famous in the world for its beauty and for the event related to it. The ideal symbol of a tradition repeated since centuries, the chess-game is an appointment that has become history and legend, a spectacular show that since ages ties the town to a medieval event. According to tradition, in 1454 the regent Taddeo Parisio invited the suitors of his daughter Lionora, Rinaldo da Angaran and Vieri da Vallonara, to contend for her hand in a peaceful chess challenge. Montegrappa greets the new Millennium with Marostica, an annual edition entirely inspired from the game of chess. Once more the exclusive technique of low-relief engraving celebrates history, narrating the event with images finely engraved on the chess background of the body and of the cap. The fountain pen features a partially platinum plated 18K gold nib with an iridium tip, a barrel with an exceptional capacity, a hand turned ebonite feeder and elegant crimson resin. Every detail, every sophisticated element of this unique writing instrument is perfect harmony between functionality and elegance, style and tradition. The body, manufactured in sterling silver or in 18K gold, boasts a square section, a shape inspired from the chessboard. To close this small masterpiece comes a cap enhanced by a clip decorated with the image of a medieval tower.

Second is a Montblanc Writer's Edition Shaw
---------------------------------------------
The MB website has this to say: Dark green marbled lacquer punctuated with platinum-plated fittings. These are the style features of the new Writers Edition in honour of the distinguished Irish free thinker George Bernard Shaw. This pen is inspired by Shaws best-known character from his play Pygmalion: Eliza Doolittle. Just as Eliza, a poor flower girl, is brought up to be an aristocratic lady, so the fine platinum of the pen is replaced more and more towards the cap by the opulent dark green of the precious resin. This deep, marbled green, indeed, originally represents the lush green meadows of Ireland that Shaw left behind. And lastly, the hand-made 18 carat gold nib beautifully engraved with a flower evokes Shaws figure of the flower girl
