Montblanc Writers Edition William Shakespeare Rollerball

The pen is made of black and white resin in reference to the colors of the flags that were raised above Shakespeare's Globe Theater in London depending on the genre that was to be played (black for a tragedy and white for a comedy). The body of the pen with the guilloche engraving refers to the nibs with which Shakespeare used to write his works, the clip ring represents the earring that Shakespeare wore, the cap shows a top view of Shakespeare's Globe Theater. The gold band on the pen bears the embossed symbols of his seven most famous pieces: a skull for Hamlet, chess pieces for King Lear, a rose and a dagger for Romeo and Juliet, a crest for Henry V , a wreath for Macbeth, a swirling cloud for The Tempest, and a “C” shaped laurel wreath for Julius Caesar.
