With a design inspired by a zeppelin, the Giuliano Mazzuoli Nobile Italia commemorates a failed 1928 crossing of the North Pole by blimp. Italian general Umberto Nobile attempted to fly the airship Nobile over the North Pole on a second flight following his successful effort to do so a few years earlier. Unfortunately, the Italia crashed, but luckily everyone on board survived and was rescued. This ballpoint pen is in excellent condition showing minimal wear. It comes with a working Parker-style refill in black. Unscrew the nose cone to replace the refill. Twist the blind cap in the tail to advance and retract the refill. 12.4cm.
