The special edition "Indian Summer" is made with the best materials. Each manufactured pen is multi-colored, lacquered with a high gloss polished metal grip and further enhanced with elaborate silver engravings. The beautiful coloring descends to a dark brown color and features high quality resin components on the front and inkwell. The rhodium-plated 18-karat gold nib is crafted, polished and crafted with care by the hands of a master.

To experience an "Indian summer" (Indian summer or St. Martin's summer) is unique. In autumn the trees change color and glow in stunning shades of yellow, orange, red and ochre. This particular wonder of nature is also called "autumn leaf fall" and offers particular color in New England and Canada. It begins in August in certain parts of Alaska and in the mountainous areas of Canada and continues through November, extending to almost all regions of the United States. This incomparable play of color is especially accentuated in the Berkshires, the mountainous region of far western Massachusetts. This magical "natural event" is triggered by exceptionally mild weather. After the first night of frost, late summer sunshine can quickly raise the temperature to a balmy 20 degrees Celsius during the day.
The term "Indian summer" seems to have its origins in ancient Native American culture. It describes their fondness for bright colors and for the end of the hunting season before the onset of winter, when warm temperatures bring the animals out of their dens for the last time.
