Classic Pens released its eighth limited edition in the CP series in 2008 with the CP8 Murelli Flamme and Vannerie Pens. The CP8 series is named in honor of the Murelli Family, whose company engraves the CP8 and has a long relationship with Classic Pens. Mr. Robert Murelli, a master craftsman in guilloche engravings, founded the company Murelli R.S.A.R.L. in 1949. The pens are manufactured in Italy by Aquila Brands to the specification of Classic Pens.
The CP8 is based on the Classic Pens Legend, a new design by Classic Pens itself. The CP8 is a substantial pen, with an extra thick silver casing wall, resulting in a more substantial pen, deep Guilloche engravings that give the pen a richer and longer lasting appearance, and a new clip design.
There are two patterns available, Flamme (Flames) and Vannerie (French Basketweave), both with gold or rhodium plate trim. Available nibs are Fine, Fine Italic, Medium, Broad and Broad Italic, as well as a roller / ball point pen.
Classic Pens introduced the CP Collection 1990 with the CP1, based on the Sheaffer Targa. Each of the subsequent CP editions were based on the flagship models of major pen manufacturers, such as Sheaffer, Parker, Aurora, Sailor, and Pelikan. These pens have become sought after collectibles, so a new CP was highly anticipated.
We will be reviewing this new limited edition this month!
