Montegrappa American Dream
An election-year tribute to the United States from Italian pen manufacturer Montegrappa, the new American Dream fountain pen is a study in red, white, and blue - perhaps the location of Montegrappa's factory along the banks of the River Brenta in the Northern Italian city of Bassno del Grappa is responsible for the pride of place given to a deep fluvial blue in this design...
The American Dream is a full-sized pen with a nice bit of heft and will be a comfortable fit in the hand for most users. The roller clip makes this pen perfect for carrying in a shirt pocket while showing off the red, white, and blue bands at the top of the cap.
The American Dream is a cartridge-converter pen which can use any bottled fountain pen ink using the provided Montegrappa converter, which has a generous .7 ml capacity. It can also be filled using international size ink cartridges, including 1.3ml Pelikan Large Cartridges. Montegrappa's attention to detail extends even to the top of the cap and the bottom of the barrel - the cap top is in the same dark blue as the body, while the bottom of the barrel is in deep red.
Montegrappa 18k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, or Left Oblique - see our nib customizations page for more information.
Each Montegrappa American Dream fountain pen includes a complimentary lapel pin and ships in a Montegrappa presentation box which includes introductory booklet and two starter ink cartridges.
