Description
Montegrappa proudly honored one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century by creating a limited edition pen for the 50th anniversary of his historic spaceflight — Yuri Gagarin. 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, became 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 a 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; however, the significant 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s flight prompted the Italian manufactory to create a special limited edition. The Montegrappa Yuri Gagarin pen joins other prestigious awards and honors, including a series of commemorative ruble coins issued by the USSR for the anniversaries of 20, 30, and 40 years, as well as the title Hero of the Soviet Union, awarded after the renaming of 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 cap. The clip, equipped with a rotating ball, facilitates easy application and removal from a pocket. Surrounded by a reproduction of the Moscow monument of Yuri Gagarin, the pen features a piston filling system, ensuring ink flow to a two-tone 18K gold nib with an ebonite feed. Both the ballpoint and fountain pens come in stylish wooden gift boxes with ink, the top of the box decorated with a metal plaque engraved with Yuri Gagarin’s image and a commemorative note in Cyrillic.
To mark the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s historic spaceflight in 1961, Montegrappa released a limited edition collection consisting of: 1961 silver fountain pens, 1961 silver ballpoint pens, 50 18K gold fountain pens, and 50 18K gold ballpoint pens.
An exceptional pen representing a legendary icon of space exploration — a gift for any occasion, symbolizing curiosity about the world.
