The new Special Edition from Conway Stewart is inspired by one of the most important literary figures in English history. At first glance this pen looks like it has a complex pattern engraved on the cap and barrel, however only upon closer inspection it is possible to read two famous poems by Rudyard Kipling.

Kipling’s works of prose and poetry have inspired generations, while also serving to reflect the great changes in the history and structure of the British Empire. Kipling was born in India, and spent most of his childhood in England, eventually attending United Services College in Devon. After his schooling, he returned to India where he began work as an Assistant Editor, the beginning of a long and distinguished career as a man of letters.

Kipling’s work is reflected in this Special Edition through a unique process that engraves two of his most famous poems along the length of both the cap and barrel. From a distance this appears as an elegant abstract pattern, when viewed close at hand, it is revealed as text from the works If and The Elephant’s Child.

The Wellington is a substantial pen, available in a choice of four writing modes: elegant fountain pen, smooth writing roller ball, convenient ball pen and pencil. The striking new design has been crafted with a subtly curvaceous form to both cap and barrel, an exciting new shape that sets the Wellington apart from traditional pen designs. The Wellington was created with an eye to the Continental flair for a sleek and classic look. This combines with our time honoured use of rich marbled resin and polished gold trim to result in a pen that suits both high fashion as well as tasteful refinement.
