For your consideration, we are pleased to present for sale this 2000 Delta Isaac Newton Special Limited Edition Fountain Pen, number 678 of only 1,642 pieces produced worldwide—a meaningful figure chosen to commemorate Newton’s year of birth. This example remains mint and never inked, and is accompanied by its original cylindrical presentation boxes, full bottle of the special edition ink, and all Delta Isaac Newton Limited Edition literature. A complete and exceptionally well-preserved set.
Sir Isaac Newton stands as one of the most influential figures in human history—the mind that reshaped mathematics, optics, and physics, laying the groundwork for modern science itself. His legacy is perhaps best captured by Alexander Pope’s famous line: “Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night; God said, Let Newton be! and all was light.” Delta, renowned for blending storytelling with fine Italian craftsmanship, chose Newton as the subject of its first limited edition of the new millennium—an inspired tribute to the “artisan of science.”
This Sterling Silver example of the Isaac Newton fountain pen is handmade in Italy from a rich black resin, accented throughout with solid sterling silver trim. The cap and barrel rings are sterling silver, each marked with proper 925 hallmarks. Crowning the cap is a genuine blue sapphire cabochon, set into a sterling silver ring—a refined detail symbolizing clarity, intellect, and precision. The solid sterling silver clip is hand-engraved with mathematical symbols, further reinforcing the scientific theme. The limited edition number, 0678/1642, is engraved on the lower end of the barrel. At the center of the barrel, the stamping reads, "Delta Special Limited Edition Italy."
The pen is flawless throughout, showing no cracks, chips, nicks, dents, or repairs. It measures approximately 5 7/16 inches capped and 6 9/16 inches posted, with a balanced weight of 1.04 ounces, giving it a substantial yet comfortable feel in the hand.
Fitted with an 18K solid gold Medium nib, stamped “18K/750 Delta,” this pen reflects the smooth, expressive writing performance for which Delta is so highly regarded. The nib measures approximately .83mm at the tip, when measured with digital calipers, and has never been dipped or inked, preserved exactly as delivered from the factory. The lever-filling system has been tested with water only and operates smoothly and correctly.
Included with the pen are the original Delta presentation boxes, limited edition documentation, and the special edition ink bottle—still full—all in excellent condition.
The Delta Isaac Newton Special Limited Edition Fountain Pen is far more than a commemorative writing instrument. It is a thoughtfully executed homage to one of history’s greatest minds, combining sterling silver artistry, fine Italian resin work, and historical narrative into a cohesive and highly collectible piece. For the discerning collector, this pen represents a rare opportunity to acquire a complete, untouched example of one of Delta’s most intellectually inspired limited editions.
