The inspiration for Montefgrappa's Two Roses collection introduced in 1994 was the 30 years War of the Roses between the House of York and the House of Lancaster for the throne of England. The war was named the War of the Two Roses as the House of York's symbol was a white rose, while the House of Lancaster's was a red one.

Roses are the main decorative feature of the two limited editions Montegrappa York and Lancaster; they appear as high relief decoration on the top of the clips and along the caps and barrels.

This pen is dedicated to the house of Lancaster (the one dedicated to the house of York is facetted and has a different  pattern of decoration). the pen is unused and it comes with its complete packaging.
