Sheaffer Special Edition Asia Series Selangor Pewter Bamboo Fountain Pen

The Bamboo fountain pen was  the first in the series of Asia Special Edition fine writing instruments, a result of a partnership between Sheaffer and Royal Selangor. The cap and barrel are made of solid pewter and incorporate an original bamboo design in sculptured relief along the surface, polished to a beautiful, luminous finish.The pen is based on their top of the line Connaisseur model which they are phasing out.
 Royal Selangor is a Malaysian company which produces heirloom quality pewter objects. The company has never make any pewter pen before. Neither did Sheaffer. The skill artisan in Royal Selangor first made a sculpture of the pen. This is then used to make a moulds for casting of the pewter pens. Every pieces are then finishes by hand.
After BIC bought Sheaffer, the Asia Series was discontinued. So this will be the first and last in the series and became a limited edition by 'accident'.
