David Oscarson Magna Carta Black Fountain pen

Introducing the Magna Carta Collection, the twenty-fourth masterpiece in the prestigious David Oscarson series of Limited Edition Writing Instruments. Created in honor of the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta—the cornerstone of modern liberty and constitutional law—this collection blends historical significance with unparalleled craftsmanship. Each pen is a celebration of freedom, justice, and enduring artistry, making it an extraordinary addition to any connoisseur’s collection.

Crafted from solid .925 Sterling Silver and finished with masterful diamond-cut Guilloché engraving, each pen in the Magna Carta Collection is layered with both Translucent and Opaque Hard Enamels. Every component is meticulously kiln-fired and hand-polished to achieve a radiant, lasting finish that exemplifies the artistry and legacy of David Oscarson™.

Historical Significance, Captured in Every Detail

The Magna Carta, or “Great Charter,” sealed by King John on June 15, 1215, laid the foundation for democratic principles and legal protections that continue to shape modern society. A powerful symbol of resistance against tyranny, it championed the rights of individuals and the rule of law—values later echoed in the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

At the heart of every pen is Article 39, engraved in Latin on the barrel: "Nullus liber homo capiatur... nisi per legale judicium parium suorum vel per legem terre."

Translation: “No free-man shall be seized or imprisoned... except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.”

Exquisite Design with Symbolic Elements

Each pen in the collection is adorned with powerful symbols of liberty and heritage:

• British Flag (Union Jack) on the cap in translucent hard enamel
• American Flag (Old Glory) on the barrel in opaque hard enamel
• King John’s Seal from 1215 crowns the cap and appears again at the base of the barrel
• Scales of Justice emblem at the base of the clip, representing fairness and due process

Limited Edition – Commemorating 800 Years of Legacy

Only 800 pieces will be produced in each color variation (across both Fountain Pen and Roller Ball styles), making this a true collector’s treasure.
