Montblanc's Writer for 2008 was the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw. An acclaimed dramatist and social critic, Shaw was the recipient of both a Nobel Prize in literature and an Oscar for the film adaptation of one of his works.

This limited edition, numbered fountain pen is inspired by George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion." Its emblematic barrel is crafted from consecutive rings of platinum-plated metal and marbled deep green lacquer, creating an exceptional contrast that hints at the social strata in Victorian England. A total of 16,000 numbered fountain pens were released in this edition, alongside ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils.

The dedicated nib, made of platinum-coated 18kt solid gold, features an engraving of a flower basket and the year of release (2008). This fountain pen utilizes an integrated piston filling system for bottled ink. It measures 14.2cm when capped and weighs 60.8 grams.

This fountain pen comes from a collector's reserve and is entirely new and unused. It includes the original Montblanc box and documentation for this prestigious edition. Please note that the box cover is missing, and the box and documents show some damage from water/humidity.
