Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this rare 2006 Stipula Etruria Maki-e Legend of the 5-Toed Dragon Limited Edition 2 of 55 Fountain Pen fitted with a 14K Gold Medium nib. This fountain pen has never been inked and is in New Old Stock, Mint condition.

This Limited Edition Stipula was made by Stipula for Allian Pens back in 2006. The fountain pen pays tribute to the 5-Toed Dragon Legend. It is said that most dragons in Chinese Art are shown with only 4 toes. Only the Emperor of China had the exalted right to a five tow or Imperial Dragon. Anyone else who presumed to display a five-toed dragon without permission was met with swift retribution. As a result, anyone carrying a travel warrant sealed with the Emperor's five-toe dragon could travel safely from one end of China to the other and expect hospitality all the way. The clip displays a genuine cabochon ruby gemstone to represent wisdom and prosperity. There is a five-toes dragon engraved into the Sterling vermeil cap clip. On the side of the clip is a "925" sterling hallmark. 

Image five shows the Maiki-e handpainted five-toed dragon artwork stitched together. I wanted to give you a better representation of what the artwork looks like. 

This Stipula has no chips, cracks, or repairs - the overall condition of the pen is Mint and in never-inked condition. The lower portion of the barrel is signed and numbered with, "2/55 Kombapoba". The cap clip and banding are sterling vermeil and display no wear. The pen measures 5 5/8" inches in length capped and 6 5/8" inches posted and weighs 1.15 ounces.

The fountain pen will use ink cartridges or the Stipula branded ink converter to fill the pen, which this one comes with. I have tested the ink converter with water and works as it was designed to.

The nib is marked 14K/585 Stipula, M for a "medium" point. The nib (iridium) measures .80mm when using digital calipers. The pen has never been inked and wanted to keep this limited edition specimen that way for the next collector! 

The fountain pen comes with the Stipular inner and outer boxes, literature about the pen, and Five Toed Dragon - all of which are in perfect condition.

This Stipula Fountain Pen, a small Italian pen maker, created this scarce limited edition fountain pen for the Allian Pens group out of Del Ray Beach, FL back in the mid-2000s. The previous owner purchased this pen back in June of 2006. The pen is Mint and has never been inked. This is a scarce Limited Edition Stipula that would be a spectacular addition to your writing arsenal collection that very few collectors would ever have a chance to own.
