On 29th of May 1953, two men,
both endowed with outstanding stamina and skill, inspired by an unflinching
resolve, reached the top of Everest and came back unscathed.
Celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the first successful ascent of Everest by Edmund Hillary and
Tenzing Norgay, Sheaffer is proud to commemorate the legacy of the great
human endeavour with the Limited Edition Legacy pen.
This pen has been laser engraved with an inscription that details the date
of this magnificent achievement. Additionally, the Nepalese name for the
mountain, Sagarmatha, has been incorporated in Nepali script into this
beautifully balanced text.
It is presented in a
beautiful polished beechwood box, alongside a cut glass ink bottle with
brass top and a gold-plated Legacy convertor. An exclusive commemorative
booklet detailing the full history behind the ascent, and the legacy which
Hillary and Tenzing left for climbers to follow in their footsteps. A
certificate of authencity signed by Sir Chris Bonington will accompany each
Limited Edition set.

and exploration alive, as for each pen sold, Sheaffer will make a donation
to the Mount Everest Foundation.
