The Monteverde Dakota fountain pen is compact when closed, but a full-sized pen when posted. The Slip-In cap has an oh-so-satisfying feel. This fountain pen features a matte green stainless steel barrel and cap, with silver trim and a JoWo #5 steel nib.
This special color brings a sense of rugged reliability and adventurous spirit to the Dakota collection. The matte green finish is inspired by the tough, no-nonsense appearance of military equipment, embodying a sense of resilience and practicality. This hue echoes the color schemes used on military aircraft during World War II, including the iconic Dakota plane. The green finish is reminiscent of the olive drab paint used to camouflage these aircraft, helping them blend into their surroundings and protect them from enemy fire.
Adding to the historical significance, the Military Green Dakota also pays tribute to the insignia and markings that adorned these planes. The Dakota was often emblazoned with national emblems, unit symbols, and identification numbers, each telling a story of bravery, service, and mission success. This pen captures that spirit, serving as a reminder of the valor and commitment of the soldiers and aircrew who relied on these aircraft during critical moments in history. The chrome trim contrasts beautifully with the matte green, highlighting the pen’s robust character with a sleek, polished accent that emphasizes its military-inspired design.
Inspired by the shape of the fuselage of the magnificent Douglas C-47 Skytrain, also known as Dakota, which played a pivotal role during World War II, the Monteverde USA® Dakota collection pays homage to the 80th anniversary of the end of this historic conflict on September 2, 1945.
