Krone Pays Tribute to Napoleon Bonaparte

The Krone pen company pays tribute to the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte with a richly gilded fine writing instrument. The cap and barrel feature highly detailed hand-painted portraits framed with gold leaf fleur-de-lis, which is finely sculpted using Krone’s signature micro-chiseling process.  Atop the clip is an ornate bronze fleur-de-lis, and a coin atop the cap encapsulates a piece of wood from Napoleon’s actual chair in which he sat upon at the time of the battle of Waterloo in 1815.

The collection is vailable in a worldwide limited edition of 88 piston-filled fountain pens and 28 rollerballs, each with bronze accents.
