David Oscarson Lewis and Clark Ruby Red GT Fountain pen

Celebrate one of the most heroic and transformative journeys in American history with the Lewis & Clark Collection—the fifteenth installment in the renowned David Oscarson™ series of Limited Edition Writing Instruments. Inspired by the legendary 1804–1806 expedition led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, this collection honors the indomitable spirit, courage, and vision that opened the American West and changed the course of history forever.

A Historic Journey Captured in Fine Detail

Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson, Lewis and Clark’s epic 8,000-mile expedition—the Corps of Discovery—charted the vast wilderness of the Louisiana Purchase, established trade routes, and documented the rich natural and cultural diversity of the American frontier. Accompanied by Sacagawea, her son "Pompey," a team of 45 frontiersmen, and Seaman, a 150-pound Newfoundland dog, the Corps made history by reaching the Pacific Ocean by land, returning as national heroes.

Every detail of the Lewis & Clark Collection is infused with the legacy of this historic journey:

• Lewis’s Pen Cap features a telescope clip symbolizing exploration and a compass rose engraved on the barrel.
• Clark’s Pen Cap includes a feathered clip and a finely detailed Peace Medal—like those offered to Native leaders along the trail—engraved on the barrel.
• High relief signatures of Lewis and Clark appear against a flowing river current background, evoking their passage down the Missouri River.
• A finely engraved map of the Louisiana Purchase traces their route from St. Louis, Missouri, to Fort Clatsop, Oregon.

Exceptional Craftsmanship & Symbolism

Crafted using the traditional art of Guilloché engraving and layered with translucent hard enamel, each pen is a testament to David Oscarson™’s dedication to precision, beauty, and historical integrity. Every piece is hand-finished and kiln-fired to achieve a radiant, lasting finish.

Available in two distinct color and design variations:

• Meriwether Lewis Edition – Translucent Ruby Red Hard Enamel with Gold Vermeil

Each design is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide, including both Fountain Pen and Roller Ball styles, making these instruments rare collector’s items with enduring historical value.
