Montegrappa Gucci - Monster Pen

[Precise]

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

That's interestingly monstrous. Yes, a writing sample would be lovely if you can do that.

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.

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.

Come on man, don't be like that! Basketball players need pens too! Have you seen the size of some of those dude's hands?

How does a Danitrio Genkai Compare in Size, Weight, to this Gigante?

[zaddick]

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.

If andre the giant needed a pen, maybe.

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