Onoto pens are on occasion designed to commemorate influential historical persons, institutions and other circumstances where a special pen would pay the perfect homage.

The Nelson collection commemorates the extraordinary career of one of Britain's most respected naval commanders, Lord Horatio Nelson, whose demise aboard HMS Victory at the Battle of Trafalgar earned him a state funeral.

Model and actress Emma Hamilton was his great love. This pen is limited to 100 pieces and incorporates silver retrieved from HMS Victory. It is constucted from solid sterling silver, with the barrel crafted in the manner of a wave pattern. The cap is a work of art in its own right, being intricately enamelled in a powder blue with an engine-turned wave pattern beneath.

The gold-plated pocket clip features the iconic chevron design and Onoto logo, while the cap end features the Maltese Cross, which Emma wore as a pendant in the painting by Schmidt which Nelson kept in his cabin aboard HMS Victory. The cap features Emma's signature, and the dates of her birth and death, and bears a pattern based on the embroidery on the dress she was wearing when she met Nelson at the Battle of the Nile.

Fitted with an 18 carat gold Onoto size 7 nib available in a range of sizes. Refill with widely-available standard pattern ink cartridges, or fit the converter (supplied with the pen) to use bottled ink.
