Description

This Special Limited Edition Churchill pen has been designed to celebrate the United States 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on 4th July 2026.

The Declaration was signed by 56 delegates of the Continental Congress, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. This pen also celebrates the broader generation of Founding Fathers, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, John Jay and James Madison, whose names are engraved on the cap.

Based on the Conway Stewart Churchill Classic Black with the names of the Founding Fathers engraved on the cap, and the key words of the Declaration of Independence engraved around the barrel of the pen saying:-

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."

On top of the cap is the words "USA 250" with the American Bald Eagle in full flight. All the engraving on this pen is enhanced by applying a gold lacquer to make the words and pictures stand out and make this an awesome pen.

Limited Edition - only 250 available

Always popular with pen collectors, the Conway Stewart Churchill was the natural choice to celebrate America 250. Inspired by the great British statesman Winston Churchill who had a great affinity for the USA and whose mother Jennie Jerome (later Lady Randolph Churchill) was born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1854. This Churchill pen is in every way an impressive pen, and not least because of its size.

The cap has wide solid 9ct gold band which has been stamped with the English hallmarks as proof of its purity and quality. The other 3 barrel rings are also 9ct gold. This 250th USA Independence Pen is close to 'pen perfection' and surely one that embodies the American Dream.
