This is a factory tape-sealed 2016 Platinum Schloss Schonbrunn Vienna Pen of the Year! The images in the listing are stock photos. The pen comes with a Medium nib.

Black, masterly-painted lacquer panels placed in paneling made from flamed maple and set with a gilded frame have adorned the Vieux-Laque Room in Schönbrunn Palace since 1770. Here you will find a special expression of the deep love between Maria Theresa and Francis Stephen in craftsmanship perfected over thousands of years – lacquer art. This story is the inspiration for the Pen of the Year, available in both a gold-plated and platinum-plated version. Both editions come with an 18-carat, bi-color gold nib that is run in by hand. An end-cap protects the rotary knob of the plunger mechanism of the plunger-type fountain pen.
