My Holy Grail!

[penviper]

It took me 5 years since I dreamt of this pen! And finally I hv gotten what I hv asked for, the Visconti La Bibbia Fountain pen. Hope to get it before this Christmas !

 

Bit of description on my pen:

 

The Christian Bible

This pen is turned into single resin ivory (coloured) bars and the cap has the same dimensions of the pen shaft. This choice reminds us to the partition in Old Testament (the pen body) and New Testament (the cap).

In the shaft our artist has represented the story of the Old Testament according to its most significant scenes: Adam and Eve, Noah’s Arch, David and Goliath, Abraham and Isaac, Moses and the Decalogue, while on the cap we find scenes of Jesus’ life: His Birth, His Baptism, the Last Supper, and the Ascent to Heaven.

The head and blind cap, with their 10 lateral facets, remind us of the Decalogue- their form and the engraving in Hebrew on the blind cap recall the two stone tablets.

The Holy Grail is hidden inside the blind cap and has the function of activating the Power Filler.

Congratulations! I hope it arrives in time - but in reality whatever day it arrives will be Christmas for YOU!

That pen is beautiful. I hope it writes as well as it looks. It's nice to see people get their grail pens.

[Icywolfe]

That barrel looks thick or the nib is really small?

 

Is the cap and the body the same art work?

This is the first time I've seen a pen that's not only a person's grail pen, but it actually has the grail.

 

Merry Christmas!
