The Lady Churchill Pen has been designed to honour Clementine Ogilvy Spencer Churchill, the wife of Sir Winston Churchill. Over 56 years of marriage to the Greatest Briton, she loved him, supported him and helped make him the man he was.
Included with the pen is a facsimile of a hand-written letter dated 27 June 1940 in which she reminds him of a maxim that he was fond of quoting "On ne règne sur les âmes que par le calme" (we only reign over souls through calm); an essential leadership skill he may have temporarily forgotten.
It is an remarkable letter in so many ways. Winston had only been appointed the Prime Minister on 10 May 1940, and at a time when Nazi Germany seemed to be invincible and Great Britain was at its Darkest Hour. The pressure on the man must have been immense. She knows he needs help, and so she starts her letter by saying "My Darling, I hope you will forgive me if I tell you something that I feel you ought to know".
The letter is a wonderful example of how she supported her husband throughout their lives with love and wise words. She was undoubtedly his most important advisor.
The Lady Churchill Pen
Available in two colours; Burgundy Pearl or Blue Stardust. On the barrel the quote from the letter "On ne règne sur les âmes que par le calme” is engraved with Lady Churchill's signature and "Made in Great Britain". On top of the cap is the image of her "Kat" which she drew at the bottom of her letter. The wide cap band is made form 9ct Gold and stamped with English hall-marks to show its purity and quality. The other rings on the pen are also 9ct gold.
Available as a fountain pen or rollerball
The fountain pen is fitted with an 18ct gold nib.
Limited edition of 100
The edition number of each pen is engraved on the end of the barrel, and each pen comes with a certificate of authenticity, a pen polishing cloth, a copy of the hand-written letter, a bottle of ink, a leaflet explaining English hall-marks and a user guide.
