Krone Patton Limited Edition Fountain Pen
The immense crowd of men buzzed with anticipation as they waited, in full uniform, for his arrival. With a plethora of Colonels, Majors and young soldiers, the camp had a tension running through it. The man they waited for was one of great dignity, with a compelling voice, a powerful stride, and an unbreakable spirit. He was the one who was sent for when courage was faint and a true fighter was needed. The German Army not only hated him, but also feared him the most out of any ranked officer in the American military. At last, he arrived, impeccably dressed in full uniform, with gleaming knee high brown boots, shiny helmet and two ivory pistols swinging from the holsters on his hips. All eyes watched him walk with confidence onto the platform and step up to the microphone. His intense stare scanned the crowd in front of him for a moment, with a grim look of intimidation. Then, his voice rose sharp and clear into the air. "Be seated," he said. The men promptly obeyed, for it was a command, not a request. Then, General George S. Patton began to speak. Patton's famous speech to the Third Army on the eve of the allied invasion of France during World War II is something the men who witnessed it will never forget. He spoke with precision, eloquence and a hefty amount of profanity. With this brash disposition and strict disciplinary regime, Patton gained respect from his soldiers and superiors. He continually strove to train his troops to the highest standards of excellence, and expected nothing less of himself as well. He had unbelievable courage, determination and passion for his career and he is remembered as a true military hero of World War II. With unmatched integrity, pride and dedication, he became one of the most honorable and successful combat generals in the history of the United States. The Krone Limited Edition Patton Fountain Pen conveys the power, dedication and courage that this great military hero is known for. With a uniquely patterned Damascus steel barrel, nib casing and blind cap, the pen has a strong feel and bold design. The barrel is wrapped with a curve shaped overlay of sterling silver with a deeply engraved map of Pattonšs Third Army progression in the Battle of the Bulge, where the gutsy Generalšs strategy and skill as a military hero shined at one of his finest moments. The outer edge of the detailed overlay has a sterling silver beaded border in relief, and the opposite side has a sterling tank, also raised in relief. The cap is a dark olive green with a subtle hint of metallic luster, with 4 sterling stars, lofted, and in perfect alignment. The clip features an enameled crest representing the 7th Army shoulder patch, which Patton proudly wore during the campaign in Sicily. Below the crest is an encased portion of this actual patch, an honorable relic and a piece of American history that defines the greatness of General George Patton. Patton's reputation has continued to grow until now. He is considered by many, the greatest military Commander in U.S. history. He was enveloped by his childhood dream of becoming a hero, and succeeded honorably with courage, strength, discipline and a brash personality that made him a commanding officer like no other. In Pattonšs own words, "Better to fight for something than live for nothing." And he did just that. This is a limited edition, quantities are limited.
