Krone Limited Edition Magnum General George Patton Fountain Pen
George S. Patton Jr., West Point graduate, athlete and military strategist, was one the most controversial heroes of WWII. Remembered as much for his often profane “blood and guts” speeches and his trademark ivory handled revolvers as for his contribution to cavalry and tank warfare, he recognized that war was a brutal business requiring strong leadership.
In 1944 he took over as commander of the 3rd Army and played a decisive part in the Battle of the Bulge, relieving Bastogne in December having swept through Brittany and Northern France from Normandy. Crossing the Rhine he stormed on to Czechoslovakia via southern Germany. In 1945 he was removed as military governor of Bavaria over his attitude to the de-nazification efforts there. He died in 1945, ironically not from a bullet, but from injuries received in an automobile accident in Germany.
Only 288 standard fountain pens and 28 roller ball pens are available worldwide, with a further limit of 18 yellow gold fountain pen being produced.
