About this edition.
The edition number engraved on the filler knob end transforms each pro-duct into an unmistakably unique item. Pelikan has manufactured just 408 of these incomparable writing instruments.
This worldwide limited edition figure is thus a reminder of the founding of the town of Rhodes that took place in 408 B.C. when the three-town states of the island united: Ialysos in the north, Lindos in the east and Kamiros in the west – all three having once been ruled by the so-named grandchildren of Helios, the sun God. They founded the island’s capital on the northern tip and called it Rhodes, thus also giving this sun-drenched and fertile island its name.
The “Colossus of Rhodes” fountain pen has been released in the year 2005 and is limited to 408 pieces.
