The novel “Treasure Island” inspired many design details of the edition. 
The overall shape of the writing instrument and the rings on the cone 
combine to create an impression of a historic, extendable spyglass. The 
Schooner Hispaniola appears in a variety of ways on the pen body. 
Embarking on a journey, the Hispaniola waves a British Ensign held 
behind a small window. Following the storyline of mutiny by pirates, 
the flag can be turned by a little knob to reveal a pirate's flag. 
Vertical lines that bring to mind the planks of the schooner  and a 
traditional sea chest adorn the signature gold-coated cap. Behind the 
signature gold-coated clip, the lines converge in a compass rose, while 
the clip imitates the shape of a belaying pin, to which the lines of a 
ship’s rigging would be secured. The cap top is crowned by the Montblanc
emblem in Mother-of-Pearl. The 18kt Gold Nib also has engraved references
to Stevenson's passion for seafaring.
