Classic Pens CP8 Murelli Pen Flamme Sterling Silver LE Fountain Pen, 2008 MINT

Description: We are selling the eighth limited edition in the Classic Pens CP series - the CP8 Murelli Pens Flamme Fountain Pen (Fine nib) housed in the presentation gift packaging with limited edition certificate. It is the fruit of the cooperation between Classic Pens, Aquila Brands (known for making Montegrappa and Tibaldi writing instruments), and Murelli. The series was launched in 2008. The pens were manufactured in Italy by Aquila Brands, to the specification of Classic Pens. The Aquila family is well known and respected as owners and manufacturers of the Montegrappa and Tibaldi brands. The CP8 series is named in honor of the Murelli Family. Mr. Robert Murelli, a master craftsman in guilloche engravings, founded the company Murelli R.S.A.R.L. in 1949. The Murelli Company has established a reputation for working with international pen manufacturers such as Parker, Waterman, Sheaffer, S.T. Dupont, Cartier, and others, creating, over the years, many exquisite guilloche engravings for fountain pens and lighters. Nowadays, guilloche engravings can be created with modern, linear engraving machines and computer technology. Despite that, the Murelli family has kept the treasured old machines in impeccable condition and formed a museum that honors the engraver’s art and the Murelli tradition alive. The working relationship between Classic Pens and Murelli goes back to 1990 with the CP1 Sheaffer Targa, the first series of the CP Collection. Mr. Robert Murelli was supported by his wife Gilda who worked with him over the years and is an expert engraver. His son Marc Murelli, who inherited the talent of his father, is now the head of the company, and with his wife Agnes, a part of the company since the age of sixteen, they are continuing the family tradition. In observance of the Murelli tradition, the family was enthusiastic about reactivating the engraving machines from the 1920s from their museum to create exquisite designs for the Classic Pens CP Collection. The CP8 Legend Murelli series comprises a total of 500 pens worldwide. Of these, 250 are Flamme, and 250 are Vannerie designs. The silver casing wall thickness with most quality pens is around 0.4 mm. However, the silver casing wall thickness of the CP8 is 0.55 mm. This results in a more substantial pen in weight, with an excellent balance for writing. Lastly, I want to mention that the images shown are of the pen I am selling.
