Axel,

 

Many thanks for the advance notice. Now all we need are a description and photos.

Thanks for the information I am already anxious to see what the pen looks like I really like the PoAs more than the WEs

[RedRob]

Thank you Axel for the info. I can't wait to see some pictures... in February maybe?

 

I also can't help but to think about Agatha Christie's husband Max Mallowan, which was also an English archeologist of the Middle East (albeit later and also more towards the South). I wonder if Christie's WE will have anything to do with Oppenheim's POA. But it most likely won't. It will probably be something closer to the Semiramis. I just hope they dig into their Sarastro overlay catalogue... I might as well dream.

 

Some wings could be a nice feature on a pen. Why not a Hittite lion engraving on the nib? Something archaic. Hopefully MB has given the Oppenheim project to the same people who designed the Charlemagne, they did such a terrific job in capturing a "civilisation".

Thank you very much for this information. Can not wait to see what they will look like.

It's really nice to hear something like this -- and one of MB's best attributes (if you don't mind me saying so) -- but there are so many famous people, apart from "Writers" themselves, who deserve a pen to be named after them. And an "archaeologist" is just one good example.

Why not a filmdirector?

 

Stanley Kubrick, Andrei Tarkovski, Ingmar Bergman,...

Thanks for the info! I'm dying to know what the new WE pen is...

I wonder how much it will cost.
