A pen with a Royal History,
by Max Davis.
This waterman's #7 ripple fountain pen desk set was
last used by H.R.H. Queen Elizabeth II during her Canadian Tour.
In 2003 the pen was used to celebrate the 50th anniversary of her coronation (1953-2003).
My good friend Michael owned an antique shop for 12 years and was well known for his fountain pen collection which he used to display in his shop.
When Queen Elizabeth signed the guest register at Christ Church cathedral the pen had to work perfectly, so he was contacted and asked to provide a pen and proudly did so!
There were lots of media and press in attendance at the signing
and he was interviewed by local newspaper reporters and television crews.
Later an article appeared in the local paper with her majesty signing the guest
register with the pen.
The pen dates to 1927 and is in excellent working condition.
If you would like to see this and other desk sets take a look here.
