Luxurious New St Andrews 2012 Ballpoint Pen Bamboo Black Gold

An Italian manufacturer specializing in producing the most prestigious and sought-after writing instruments Montegrappa has been asked for the second time to create a pen honoring the greatest milestone in golf: the creation of the St Andrews golf course. Based on experience as an initiator among luxury writing instrument producers, Montegrappa has the honor to offer the perfect pen to commemorate "Home Of Golf" – the headquarters of golf, St Andrews golf course.

In 2010, the 150th anniversary of "The Open Championship" was celebrated at the oldest golf course in the world – "The Old Course" in St Andrews. This inspired the creation of a new range of writing instruments produced by Montegrappa to showcase the quality, history, and beauty associated with the golf courses in St Andrews.
Izzy Cameron, Brand Development Manager at St Andrews Links, said: "We are very pleased to collaborate with a company that represents history and heritage. This partnership extends our world-famous brand into an area where pen owners can appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of Montegrappa products, just as those who play on our courses appreciate their golfing legacy spanning over 600 years."

This collection features green celluloid with a highlighted cabochon golf ball on the cap and the St Andrews golf course logo on the body, which Montegrappa believes pays tribute to six centuries of golf at St Andrews, dating back to around 1400 AD. During the 19th century, golf evolved from factory workers’ pastime into a way of life for the local community. Golf remains a cultural and economic cornerstone of St Andrews to this day.
We are pleased to introduce the new limited edition family of pens from 2012. Montegrappa offers a fountain pen and a ballpoint pen in versions made from black resin and sterling silver, or in celluloid in bamboo black color with 18K rose gold. Writing instruments made from sterling silver will be produced in a limited quantity of 600 pieces each; this number represents the years of golf played at St Andrews. Meanwhile, writing instruments made from gold are limited to only 7 fountain pens and 7 ballpoint pens to reflect the number of local golf courses.
The final, special, hand-engraved edition called "18th Hole" completes the collection with 18 fountain pens and 18 ballpoint pens made from 18K rose gold and green celluloid. The pattern on the body depicts a golfer in period attire preparing to strike. The image has been skillfully recreated from an original photograph by engraver Mario Rossetti. The ring surrounding the cap is decorated with golf images.
Luxury Concierge recommends that when choosing a gift pen, focus on quality and design. A low price does not always equate to precision and durability of the writing instrument. When selecting a pen, pay attention to the nib – the most desirable are made from gold and silver.
