M956 896Limited Edition: 713/88814C - 585 Medium (M) NibYear: 1995Made in GermanyOpening model of the sought after "Asia LE888 Series" This pen pays tribute to the dragon.The dragon is one of the most complex and manifold symbols in Chinese mythology and is surrounded by a wealth of legend andfolklore. In sharp contrast to the Western image, the Chinese dragon is a good natured and benign creature. As a magical animal, it is capable of shrinking to the size of a silkworm or swelling till it fills the space between heaven and earth.The spirit of this beast is very much a living part of Chinese culture. All Chinese descendants are closely connected to the dragon and although over the centuries this race has been scattered throughout the world, this powerful and mystical symbol, rich in tradition and history, still binds them.Tradition and history are two words closely connected with the love of fine writing instruments, and it is this which makes the symbol of the dragon a perfect choice of motif for a very special limited edition. A top of range fountain pen limited to 888 pieces world-wide, created according to old craft methods and ennobled with gold-plated mountings. With the Golden Dynasty fountain pen, Pelikan presents an exclusive writing instrument of matchless charm. Pelikan's master craftsmen adorn each barrel by hand with an intricate design of high artistry (Toledo), incised into a sleeve of solid 925 sterling silver overlaid with 24-carat gold. The Golden Dynasty barrel shows two dragons playing with a ball in the heavens.According to Chinese mythology this would cause rain to fall. The dragons then disappear behind the rain clouds where they are hidden.The individual numbering of each pen is an expression of exclusiveness to the highest degree. Each Pelikan Golden Dynasty is a unique work of art. No less than 200 manufacturing steps are required in the creation of each Golden Dynasty pen. The hand-crafted barrel, the finely-chased 14-carat gold nib, the luxuriously modelled clip in the shape of a pelican's beak, and the loving attention that has gone into so many details make the Pelikan Golden Dynasty a treasure of timeless beauty and value. The concerned pen has never been inked. It comes in excellent pre-owned condition. It shows some handling micro-scratches.All original boxes and papers are included but in strongly worn and poor condition (see photos) and namely: wooden display box, illustrated outer box, booklet; personal service card and certificate.Numbers on pen, certificate, personal service card, plaque and label match.
