<DIV align=justify>The second in Pelikan's series, the Seven Wonders of the World, this pen is a major production. Surely one of the most impressive of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colossus of Rhodes, a statue of Helois that spanned the harbor entrance, stood for just 68 years before it was destroyed by an earthquake. </DIV></TD></TR></TABLE></DIV></TD></TR>

<DIV align=justify>The bronze statue of the Greek God Helois, the worshipped sun God and patron saint of the Aegean island of Rhodes, was built with great architectonic and artistic skill, as reported by the chroniclers of the time. This Limited Edition pen is made of bronze, one of the materials used in the Colossus. The edition number is engraved on the filler knob. The number is limited to 408, the date of the founding of the town of Rhodes, 408 B. C. </DIV></TD></TR></TABLE></DIV></TD></TR>

<DIV align=justify>Pelikan has made great use of matte metal surfaces. This unusual M1000 size nib is unique to the Colossus. Except for the circular Pelikan Logo, the nib is sandblasted to a deep matte finish, similar to the bronze cap. The clip has the look of an archaic sand casting, with a Greek key design imprinted on the face. This pen is available with a fine, medium or broad nib.</DIV></TD></TR></TABLE></DIV></TD></TR>

The surfaces are sumptuous and varied. <br>Note the interlocking pattern around the grip of the pen. </DIV></TD></TR></TABLE></DIV></TD></TR>
