David Oscarson Rosetta Stone Ruby Red GT Fountain pen

Celebrate one of history’s greatest linguistic discoveries with the David Oscarson Rosetta Stone Collection, the twenty-first release in David Oscarson’s renowned series of limited edition writing instruments. Inspired by the iconic Rosetta Stone, this masterfully crafted collection is available in three stunning color variations, each limited to just 77 pieces worldwide (fountain pens and rollerballs combined).

Crafted from solid .925 Sterling Silver, each pen features intricately cut Guilloché engraving layered with translucent and opaque hard enamel.

  • Top of cap features an Egyptian coin with Ptolemy V’s image, with a reverse-side eagle at the base.
