I've had something waiting for me at my local AD for several months now in anticipation of having my "tribute collection".
Well, after my recent visit to HK with something special waiting for me there, yesterday I drove to the AD to pick up the "second" part of the tribute.
Here's my HK pick up.............................
Here's the "big reveal" of what I picked up yesterday:
I grew up watching Ali rise to the top of the boxing world and was a huge fan. I am so proud and honored to have this tribute collection in his name, a true "one-two punch"!!!!!!
Here is some information from the official Ali web-site regarding the elements that are dedicated to Ali:
[b]Finished in white pearlised resin with a black stripe running its length, the barrel bears the colours of his boxing shorts. The end of the barrel completes the look with two circumferential black stripes, as found at the tops of his socks. The pocket clip, terminated with the Montegrappa rolling end-piece, takes the shape of the stitching on Ali's boxing gloves. The cap's profile follows the arc of a speed bag, while the end of the cap is shaped in the cushion form of the "World Championship" diamond-encrusted ring worn by Ali and his corner team. Lastly, the cap features the great man's signature, in black, with the legend "The Greatest of All Time" incorporated into the cap's top.
Montegrappa's Icons Tribute to Muhammad Ali limited edition addresses key elements of Muhammad Ali's life. 1942 is the year of his birth. He fought 61 fights. He won 56. His wins by knockout numbered 37. Guided by these figures, Montegrappa will issue 1942 fountain pens and 1942 roller balls in resin with sterling silver trims, 61 fountain pens with solid gold trims and 56 roller balls with solid gold trims. The Knockout Edition honoured by Robb Report is an exclusive version of the gold-trimmed pens, set with diamonds in the cap's end-piece. Only 37 in total will be produced.[/b]
Thanks for looking and wishing everyone a great day!!!!!!!
