This Montegrappa Dragon fountain pen is a limited edition piece from the manufacturer's Icons series, released in 2010/11 as a tribute to Bruce Lee. Measuring 14.5 cm in length, the pen features a sophisticated piston-fill mechanism.
The aesthetic design is characterized by a dragon motif created by Federico Monti, which wraps around both the barrel and the cap, featuring distinctive rubies set as the dragon's eyes. The fountain pen is equipped with a 750/000 gold nib, which is meticulously engraved with the profile of Bruce Lee. This item is identified as one of a limited production run of 888 units, with the specific piece numbered 109. The body exhibits a deep red marbled resin, complemented by the detailed metalwork of the dragon overlay.
This high-end writing instrument serves as both a functional tool and a collectible work of art, reflecting the craft and design heritage of Montegrappa in Bassano del Grappa, Italy.
