| The Krone Limited Edition Patton Fountain Pen conveys
the power, dedication and courage that this great military
hero is known for. With a uniquely patterned Damascus
steel barrel, nib casing and blind cap, the pen has a
strong feel and bold design. The barrel is wrapped with
a curve shaped overlay of sterling silver with a deeply
engraved map of Patton¹s Third Army progression in
the Battle of the Bulge, where the gutsy General¹s
strategy and skill as a military hero shined at one of
his finest moments. The outer edge of the detailed overlay
has a sterling silver beaded border in relief, and the
opposite side has a sterling tank, also raised in relief.
The cap is a dark olive green with a subtle hint of metallic
luster, with 4 sterling stars, lofted, and in perfect
alignment. The clip features an enameled crest representing
the 7th Army shoulder patch, which Patton proudly wore
during the campaign in Sicily. Below the crest is an encased
portion of this actual patch, an honorable relic and a
piece of American history that defines the greatness of
General George Patton.
Patton's reputation has continued to grow until now. He
is considered by
many, the greatest military Commander in U.S. history.
He was enveloped by his childhood dream of becoming a
hero, and succeeded honorably with courage, strength,
discipline and a brash personality that made him a
commanding officer like no other. In Patton¹s own
words, ³Better to fight
for something than live for nothing.² And he did
just that.
