Background -
Archiv Produktion and Deutsche Grammophon (DGG) have a long history in the music business. Archiv was formed in 1949 as a classical label for DGG. They are most famous for their classical music titles featuring some of the greatest music virtuoso's of the 19th and 20th centuries. To help celebrate the company's history, the Archiv company issued a variety of music related marketing type items to help heighten the awareness of the company and their products. More specifically, they issued the item you see in our pictures with this listing (the pictures are of the actual item). It is an ink FOUNTAIN pen, made out of silver with a 14kt gold tip, with the Archiv name clearly indicated on the pen and packaging. The fountain pen was made by PARKER, so you know it's of top quality and very collectible.
DGG History -
Archiv Produktion is a classical music record label of German origin. It originated in 1949 as a classical label for the Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft (DGG), and in 1958 Archiv was established as a subsidiary of DGG, specialising in recordings of Early and Baroque music. It has since developed a particular focus on "historically informed performance" and the work of artists of the Early music revival movement of the 20th and 21st centuries.
The first head of Archiv Produktion, serving in the position from 1948 to 1957, was Fred Hamel, a musicologist who set out the early Archiv Produktion releases according to 12 research periods, from Gregorian Chant to Mannheim and Vienna. Hamel's successor 1958-1968 Hans Hickmann was a professor at the University of Hamburg who focused on Bach and Handel. The next director was Andreas Holschneider (1931–2019) from 1970-1991. In December 1991 Holschneider gave an interview to Gramophone where he defended the entry of Archiv Produktion and "authentic instrument" specialists such as John Eliot Gardiner into Romantic territory of Schumann and Berlioz. The label's next head was Peter Czornyj (b. 1956) from 1992.
In parallel, the Decca Records also acquired the rights to the recording catalogue of the French-Australian music publishers Éditions de l'Oiseau-Lyre in 1970 and began to issue early music recordings using the l'Oiseau-Lyre brand.
Condition -
This ink FOUNTAIN pen is BRAND NEW and never used, just kept in storage. It is pretty much in mint overall shape. There are no scratches or storage marks on the outer case. The pen comes in a large cardboard and plastic outer case (as you can see in the pictures with this listing), and DOES include ink.
The fountain pen appears to be made of silver as it has oxidized over the years and needs to be cleaned properly. It also has a 14kt gold tip.
The pen measures approximately 140mm long - everything is original to the pen, as it was produced and released by Parker for Archiv.
Do not let this rarity slip by!
