Exclusive GOLD Fountain Pen Yuri Gagarin Montegrappa

Creating a limited edition of pens for the 50th anniversary of the historic space flight of Yuri Gagarin, Montegrappa proudly honored one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century. Since 1912, Montegrappa has been producing high-quality writing instruments in its historic building in Bassano del Grappa, North East Italy. This groundbreaking and most exciting period in human history, reflecting a continuous desire for exploration, also served as an inspiration for the Italian manufactory.

Yuri Gagarin was born on March 9, 1934, in Klushino, Russia. Gagarin was a Soviet Air Force pilot who, in 1960, after completing the selection process, was chosen from 19 other pilots for the Soviet space program. He became the first human to travel into space.

The original idea of the creators was for the pen to represent the first part of the Cosmopolitan collection, but the significant importance of the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's flight prompted the Italian manufactory to create a special limited edition. The Montegrappa Yuri Gagarin pen joins other renowned awards and honors it has received, including: a series of commemorative ruble coins issued by the USSR for the anniversaries of 20, 30, and 40 years, and the title Hero of the Soviet Union following the renaming of the town Gzhatsk to Gagarin in 1968.

Master craftsmen at Montegrappa engraved the body with a bas-relief image of Yuri Gagarin, bordering an interplanetary motif, on the USSR emblem. The clip, equipped with a rotating ball, facilitates easy application and removal from a pocket. Surrounded by a reproduction of the Moscow Monument to Yuri Gagarin, the pen features a piston filling system, ensuring ink flow to a bi-color 18K gold nib with an ebonite feed. Both the ballpoint and fountain pen come in stylish wooden presentation boxes with ink. The top cover of the box is decorated with a metal plaque engraved with Yuri Gagarin's likeness and an anniversary note in Cyrillic.

To commemorate the 50 years since Yuri Gagarin's historic space flight in 1961, Montegrappa released a limited edition of Yuri Gagarin pens consisting of: 1961 silver fountain pens, 1961 silver ballpoint pens, 50 18K gold fountain pens, and 50 18K gold ballpoint pens.
An exceptional pen of the legendary space icon, it is a perfect gift for any occasion, symbolizing curiosity about the world.
