Monteverde USA is dedicating this reverse painting limited edition fountain pen to the 50th anniversary miracle event that took Apollo 11 to the Moon on July 20th, 1969. An oversized pen made from resin, the barrel features miniature handpainting on the inside!

The Monteverde First Step fountain pen is offered with a reliable, smooth-writing German made JoWo #6 black steel nib in your choice of extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, or 1.1mm stub. It fills via standard international converter or ink cartridge, both of which are included.

The Monteverde First Step is a limited edition run of only 888 fountain pens and comes in a limited edition luxury box along with a special 30ml ink marking the occasion.

Our first steps represent the start of a series of milestones in life. Whether we are commemorating new skills, graduations, commitments, career changes, birth or the purchase of a new home... each step we take illustrates the unknown being conquered.

The first step on the Moon was more than just an achievement for space exploration, but a defining moment in an "anything is possible" philosophy. The historical event serves as a constant reminder that we should break free of our comfort zones and explore every opportunity - especially the ones we must strive for, and ultimately create for ourselves.

Nabu, meaning inside, is the name of the process of meticulously hand-painting original artwork inside each pen. The artist handcrafts specially designed L-shaped brushes so that the centuries-old art form can be accomplished in the small circumference of the pen barrels. Fully understanding the painstaking efforts and awesome talent of the Nabu artists only intensifies the beauty and appreciation of each masterpiece.
