The Montblanc Writers Edition Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Limited Edition, is dedicated to one of the most renowned crime novelists and creator of the famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes. Made from 18K Solid White Gold, this fountain pen features a skeleton overlay on several translucent, hand-painted lacquer underlays which draw inspiration from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's house Undershaw as well as an old street map of London. The clip comes in the shape of a magnifying glass and boasts the “ACD” logo. Hidden behind the logo lies a movable magnifying glass. As a reference to Doyle's interest for spiritualism, the removable engraved cap ring top draws inspiration from a sideric pendulum. This notion is evoked once again through the engraving on the cone of a book that Doyle wrote about Spiritualism. The 18K solid gold nib with ruthenium and rhodium coating features the face of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as well as a ship's mast from his adventure novel The Captain of the Pole Star.
