Montegrappa Gucci - Monster Pen


Precise

Recommended Posts

Here are pics of my latest (and silliest) ebay find. It's called the Montegrappa Gucci. As you can see from the pics, it's truly a MONSTER. It weighs 86g capped and takes cartridges or a converter. The leather is stamped "Gucci Made in Italy". Perhaps this pen is mightier than the sword.

 

It this the biggest real functioning pens every made?

 

Regards,

Alan

I have one of these. I think they were novelty pens in the 1960s. There was another version that I have seen emblazoned with the phrase similar to big pen for men or the like.

If you want less blah, blah, blah and more pictures, follow me on Instagram!

how can I somehow find a new reason to hate montegrappa's pens every single day.

 

That thing is an absurd monstrosity.

... I would look ridiculous carrying that around let alone using it.

 

Like you got the typical huge luxury cigar style pens, and then you got the overcompensating La-Z-boy there.

Definitely not the pen some men would want laying around when they're trying to find something for size comparison to a picture they're about to text one late night.

A Genkai is a bit loner than the Pilot Custom Urushi shown as the second largest pen in the OP. The Genkai is also much lighter at a little over 50 grams.

And I thought my Guider Capsule was big at 158 mm long. Weight is a paltry 32 grams (25 uncapped)

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
