2 Pen case 'Cavalry The luxury pen case, that correspondents with the theme, has an ingenious integrated hinge. The surface resembles shagreen, made of the skin of the stingray, a fish closely related to the shark. It was popular on the grip of swords. In a fight, it provided the owner with grip, even when there was blood all over it. Theme Cavalryi Made for Rein van der Mast Member of The Royal Netherlands Cavalry Mounted Squadron Theme 'Cavalry Mr Van der Mast, member of the mounted squadron of the Royal Netherlands Army, was Pjotr's initial client. Because the patron saint of cavalry is Saint George, there is a depiction of his famous legend. There are elements of traditional cavalry (swords, lances, uniforms and horses) and modern cavalry (tanks and regiments). There are also two lines from an old French adage: "A nos Femmes! A nos Chevaux! The hinge consists of sixteen elements. The shape of these elements derive from a cross section of a nineteenth century Dutch cavalry sword. The pen case resembles the giberne (cartridge bag), which is nowadays an important part of ceremonial uniforms in many armies. It was once a pouch in which bullets and powder were kept. The soft inside of the box, which is red, holds a depiction of four swords and a lance. 2 3

modern Cyrene in Libya or the city of Lydda in the Holy Land, depending on the source). Consequently, the citizens have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, to collect water.

3 Saint George and the dragon... In the fully developed Western version, which developed as part of the Golden Legend, a dragon or crocodile makes its nest at the spring that provides water for the city of "Silene" (perhaps modern Cyrene in Libya or the city of Lydda in the Holy Land, depending on the source). Consequently, the citizens have to dislodge the dragon from its nest for a time, to collect water. To do so, each day they offer the dragon at first a sheep, and if no sheep can be found, then a maiden must go instead of the sheep. The victim is chosen by drawing lots. One day, this happens to be the princess. The monarch begs for her life to be spared, but to no avail. She is offered to the dragon, but there appears Saint George on his travels. He faces the dragon, protects himself with the sign of the Cross,[29] slays the dragon, and rescues the princess. source: Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/saint_george 4 5

Horses and Regiments Until recently the Royal Netherlands Army had four cavalry regiments: `Huzaren van Boreel`, `Huzaren Prins van Oranje`, `Huzaren van Sytzama`, and `Huzaren Prins Alexander`.

5 Horses and Regiments Until recently the Royal Netherlands Army had four cavalry regiments: `Huzaren van Boreel`, `Huzaren Prins van Oranje`, `Huzaren van Sytzama`, and `Huzaren Prins Alexander`. Only the first still exists. The Leopard 2A6, one of the best main battle tanks in the world, is no longer part of the Army s doctrine. Four crows represent these regiments. Hoofprints refer to where it all began: horses in warfare. 8 9

Owner s monogram Mr. Van der Mast s monogram RvdM is represented by the mast, hull and sails of a sailing boat. It is on the pen, over the sprocket (driven wheel) of the Leopard 2A6 main battle tank. About Pjotr Pjotr, a new and innovative Dutch manufacturer of highly exclusive fountain pens, creates one of a kind pieces and small series of which every single piece differs by at least one truly sculptured element. The art of sculpting is what distinguishes Pjotr's creations from all other fountain pens. His pieces are very much three-dimensional. The process starts when a client informs Pjotr about the theme he or she wishes. Somewhat later, Pjotr comes up with various design proposals and in mutual consultation they define every detail thereof, including the pen case used for storing such a precious piece of writing equipment. The latest manufacturing methods and materials are used. They enable Pjotr to build each single pen differently and accurately without any product specific tools. The minimal variation in Pjotr designs doesn t lie in some engraved words, but in a significant geometrical element in which, for instance, the user's initials or monogram are included three-dimensionally. About the concept Perhaps you have no connection with cavalry whatsoever. Then tell Pjotr what you like best. Pjotr pens are either unique or one of a small series, with at least one significantly differing element. You may perhaps wish to include diamonds, brighter colors or a golden nib. Or maybe something translucent, with metal lines all over the surface as on a printed circuit board, with electronics to respond to your handwriting. It is all possible. Allow Pjotr to tell you how. pjotrpens.com Property of SOLide/Pjotr - All rights reserved - Copyright
