Montblanc have released a new pen honouring a celebrated American writer who gained world reputation with his work “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn” as well as paying tribute to his 100th anniversary, celebrating his life and achievements in 2010. It will be available to buy from Wheelers Luxury Gifts on 1st September 2010.

The design has been inspired by the area in which Mark Twain lived, the Southern States of America. The cap and barrel symbolise the shallow waves of the Mississippi in a deep blue colour, the cap top is reminiscent to the chimney of a Mississippi steamboat and the clip refers to a jaw’s harp, a typical musical instrument from that period. The nib has been delicately designed and is engraved with two sailor’s knots that have been used in former times as an indication for the depth under the keel of a sails boat.
