The Churchill Heritage Conway Stewart Collection
This is the fourth pen in the second series of Conway Stewart Churchill Heritage pens produced in association with Churchill Heritage, through which the Churchill family distributes money to charities and good causes that keep alive the legacy of Sir Winston and the spirit of the words of wisdom he penned.
“NEVER SURRENDER”
From one of Churchill's most famous speeches made on the 4 June 1940 to the House of Commons is the two words that captured the minds of the United Kingdom and beyond “NEVER SURRENDER” is engraved on the barrel. Underneath this is Winston S Churchill’s signature, and under that is the words “Made in Great Britain”.
Actual speech;-
“…we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God’s good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.”
This edition is available in Modena Red Gold bracketed with black nib-holder /tassie and barrel end to give that classical look. It is also available in Classic Black Gold. All fountain pens have 18ct gold nibs fitted. The wide 9ct gold cap band is stamped with the British Hallmarks to show it is genuine gold. There is also included a leaflet that explains the history of British Hallmarks.
A book “Winston Churchill; Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: The Great Speeches”
A book called “Winston Churchill; Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: The Great Speeches” is supplied with each pen. This magnificent anthology includes 33 of Churchill's most famous speeches from his maiden speech in the House of Commons in 1901 to his swan song of 1955, via his towering rhetoric of the Second World War. As the Sunday Telegraph summed up when reviewing this book , "Churchill was a word spinner of genius....a splendid anthology".
The “Pug” pen
Engraved on the top of the cap of all the Heritage pens is the iconic sketch of “Pug” that Winston penned on a letter to his wife Clementine dated 1st August 1909. There is also a facsimile of the letter hand written by Winston that accompanies every pen. Clementine called Winston “my sweet pug” and in turn he often drew little animated pictures of “pug” at the bottom of his letters to her. This one with the letter “W” above its head looks very similar to a bulldog that people often associate with the great man.
Winston Churchill’s Red Cabinet Box
Each pen comes in a replica of one of Winston Churchill’s Red Cabinet Box – these are the brief cases used by ministers of the British Government to carry official papers. On the lid is another of one of his famous quotes “I have always earned my living by my pen”. Inside the box is a foam insert holding a copy of the book “Winston Churchill; Blood, Toil, Tears and Sweat: The Great Speeches” containing many of his famous speeches, and a bottle of green ink. Also included is a facsimile of Churchill’s 1909 letter to his wife showing his actual handwriting and his sketch of the “Pug”.
Limited Edition of 100 pens world-wide
Only 100 pens will be made of each of the quotes in the series, and each pen comes with a certificate detailing the edition number. The edition number is also engraved on the end of the barrel.
