If you are new to the Perchin story, allow me a moment for this abbreviated version:
The first Fabergé Easter Egg was made in 1885 by Michel Perchin, (Mikhail Perikhin).  In 1886, at the age of 26, this skilled craftsman, a self-taught goldsmith from a peasant background in the town of
Pctorvskiy Zavod
, became chief foreman of the Fabergé firm.  Until his death in 1903, his initials were put on all surprise eggs of the firm made for Emperors Alexander III and Nicholas II.  The first egg made by Perchin, (Perikhin), con­sisted of an ivory shell with stripes of dark blue enamel; in the shell there was a golden-with-enamel hen with ruby eyes. Inside the hen, there was a golden crown inlaid with pearl. And inside the crown there was a golden ring.  It was precisely in 1885 that the tradition of annually giving Fabergé Easter eggs was born.  Subsequently, Michel Perchin, Inc., borrowed from the designs of the original Faberge Eggs to create a unique line of extremely limited edition writing instruments.

ABOUT THE PEN:
Influenced by the extraordinary designs of the Russian Imperial Palace, this fountain pen from Michel Perchin, Inc., features multiple patterns of engraving, ‘guilloche’, and flawlessly balanced by the design work on the barrel and cap.
The pen is bored from a rod of solid sterling (.925 English hallmark) silver.
The cap and barrel ends are hard enameled and fired.
The pen is then highly polished to a brilliant luster and re-fired for a lasting finish.
The barrel, cap, clip, crown, ring and high relief guilloche on the pen is then layered (plated) in
22K Gold.
The pen has a medium nib which is
18K gold
alloyed with iridium for strength and flexibility.  Additionally, the pen features the special 10
th
Anniversary Michel Perchin nib not to be available on any other pen.
The feeder is ebonite.
The pen is seated in a beautiful, Swiss made, maple wood box and ships in an outer sleeve dust cover.
The pen includes care instructions and all original paperwork from the manufacturer.
