The 2021 Montblanc Writers Edition Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Limited Edition is dedicated to one of the most renowned crime novelists and creator of the famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes.
Made from blue-grey precious resin, the edition evokes the sinister, foggy atmosphere of London, where Sherlock Holmes usually solves his cases. The cap and barrel of this edition are decorated with a plaid pattern in reference to Holmes’ coat, as well as parts of a historic London city map. The cap ring has the author’s signature, the swirl logo from the very first edition of the Sherlock Holmes story ‘A Study in Scarlet’ and the inscription 30 October 1886, the date Arthur Conan Doyle found a publisher for his first novel.
The clip is shaped like a magnifying glass, revealing the initials JB, an homage to Joseph Bell: the actual man behind the Sherlock Holmes character. At the top an ophthalmoscope is visible, a reference to Doyle’s medical background. The Montblanc Emblem in precious resin crowns the cap of the edition.
The handcrafted 18 kt solid gold nib, available in Medium and Fine widths, is engraved with a portrait of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, surrounded by flying dinosaurs from the book ‘The Lost World’. The fountain pen is piston-filled.

Limited to only 1902 pieces and inspired by the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – High Quality, dark brown, lacquer body and cap. The cone on bottom of barrel is made of precious high quality wood.
