Montegrappa Singapore 40Th Anniversary Living Harmony 161/500 fountain pen

OMAS LIMITED EDITION 1997 RETURN TO MOTHERLAND

The top is decorated with the Bauhinia flower encircled by the words, “Return of the Motherland”, and enameled in the original red color of the Association’s official logo.

The clip is embellished in the same hue by a thin linear element reminiscent of basic calligraphy. Fountains of water adorn its cylindrical surface, which is elegantly patterned after the finest Chinese silk. The band around the cap synthesizes the Great Wall of China, one of the most recognized monuments of this earth, the OMAS logo emerging from one of the Wall’s majestic gates, and the 4 ideograms meaning “Return to the Motherland’s in Chinese.

The barrel of the pen follows this theme of combining Hong Kong and Chinese motifs. Sculpted into the metal sheath of the barrel, two Chinese dragons, mother and child, allude to the relationship between Hong Kong and China and support the emblem of their unity, the pink Chinese dolphin. The Chairman of the Association, Dr. Raymond Wu, chose the pink Chinese dolphin as the reunification icon for a several reasons.
