The story behind these Mercury Mystery Pens:
Made from Tibaldi Impero Celluloid right after Mandarina Duck stopped the Tibaldi project around the year 2000.
Robert Dubois had been the distributor for Tibaldi for the Benelux Countries till the very end. He managed to get hold of a batch of Celluloids and had himself made a limited edition, Mercury Pens, using the Impero Celluloid as well as the Tibaldi Clip.
They were made by Stipula in Florence Launched as a cartridge converter filler, Not all were sold, and a small batch was recently sold without Nib or Feed, we have had the Pens upgraded in the workshop of a German Independent Master Pen Maker, converting them to a classic piston filler and creating a Nib collar from Ebonite to take a vintage Ebonite Feed and a Gold Nib.
The Pen comes in an Onoto hand made stylish leather pen case
Make no mistake about it this is a true Grail Pen.
