Crafted by hand, the Great Exhibition pen measures a rather large 8 inches when closed. In keeping with the grand nature of the Great Exhibition itself, we've designed the Great Exhibition Pen to be an impressive addition to our line.
Sized to immediately grab attention, the impressive nature of the Great Exhibition doesn't stop there. The overlay is crafted by hand by renowned English craftsman, Henry Simpole. This design is timeless and is reminiscent of the classic British overlay pens crafted in the early 1900s.
Each pen carries the English Assay hallmark authenticating the precious metal overlay. The pen is mounted with a solid 18 carat Image of Stylus cover nib, delivering a smooth wet line.
In keeping within this historic theme, Conway Stewart chose to utilize a filling mechanism typically used in the late 1800s, the Eye Dropper. Using modern materials and taking full benefit of the size of this great pen, the ink capacity is equivalent to 8 x ink cartridges!
