David Oscarson 2012 End of Days Azure Blue GT Fountain pen

Unveil a rare convergence of ancient prophecy, astronomical precision, and artisanal craftsmanship with the 2012 Collection, the fourteenth release in the David Oscarson™ series of Limited Edition writing instruments. This extraordinary collection honors the Galactic Alignment that occurs once every 26,000 years—an event deeply rooted in the Mayan Long-Count Calendar and one of the most profound celestial phenomena ever recorded.

Limited to just 52 pieces per color variation worldwide (fountain pens and roller balls combined), the 2012 Collection is a masterwork of symbolism and storytelling, designed to capture the spirit of transformation and the beginning of a new World Age Cycle.

A Universe in a Pen: Rich Symbolism and Historic Significance

The Galactic Alignment of December 21, 2012 marked the end of the 13th Baktun (13.0.0.0.0) and the start of a new 5,125-year cycle, as prophesied by the Maya. Every design element in this collection pays homage to this pivotal moment in cosmic and cultural history:

• Petroglyphic Dot-and-Bar Numeration: The clip features the Mayan representation of the date 12-21-2012, while the cap and barrel display the symbolic numbers 13.0.0.0.0 (midnight) and 0.0.0.0.0 (dawn), signifying the end and the beginning of an era.
• The 7 Macau vs. One Hanahpu: The barrel depicts the 7 Macau (symbol of ego and pride, shown upside-down beneath the Milky Way) and his celestial rival One Hanahpu, the Sun God and source of humility, balance, and spiritual renewal.
• The Hero Twins & Underworld Creatures: Iconography of the Hero Twins, the tricksters of Maya mythology who topple the 7 Macau, appears alongside representations of the underworld frog and crocodile, signifying rebirth and the cosmic cycle of light overcoming darkness.
• Solar Ball Game & Cosmic Geometry: The pen’s gripping section features symbolic temple steps, and the pen clip includes a sun-passing-through-dark-rift motif, representing both the Maya ceremonial ball courts and the astronomical event of the solstice.
• Cap Detail – 4 Ahau: Engraved on the crown is 4 Ahau, the sacred day on which the alignment occurs—thought to usher in not apocalypse, but spiritual transformation, renewal, and the elevation of global consciousness.

Exquisite Craftsmanship: Guilloché & Hard Enamel

As with all David Oscarson™ creations, the 2012 Collection blends centuries-old artistry with meticulous modern technique:

• Guilloché Engraving: Intricate geometric patterns are engine-turned into .925 Sterling Silver, providing a radiant base for the enamel overlay.
• Hard Enamel: A labor-intensive process involving hand-ground enamel paste, multiple kiln firings (at over 1,000°F), and hand polishing with diamond files. The result is a velvet-smooth, jewel-like finish that fuses art and engineering.

Crafting each pen demands hundreds of hours and the expertise of artisans trained in the Old World tradition. The result: a writing instrument as timeless and rare as the event it honors.

Available in 5 Stunning Color Variations:

• Opaque Azure Blue with multi-colored Opaque Hard Enamel in Gold Vermeil
• Opaque Sapphire Blue with multi-colored Opaque Hard Enamel
• Opaque Pistachio Green with multi-colored Translucent and Opaque Hard Enamel
• Opaque Black with multi-colored Translucent and Opaque Hard Enamel
• Opaque Red with multi-colored Translucent and Opaque Hard Enamel in Gold Vermeil

Each colorway is limited to only 52 pieces, reflecting the 52-year sacred cycle in Mayan calendrical systems.
