A rare pen decorated with a French infantry soldier on the one side and an Alsatian bell tower on the other. The top is finished with a Flèche/arrow. The date June 28, 1919. the date of The Versailles Peace Treaty which officially ended World War I is towards the bottom. Nicely gilded in cast bronze.

The pen is cast bronze by French Foundry Susse Freres, Paris, known for their cast bronzes. Signed on the pen onside Susse Freres and the other side by designer O. Lelievre

The pen comes with its original box with paper label on the inside marked Susse Freres, 31 Place de la Bourse, Paris. Also with the original document.

A translation of the accompanying document states that "the pen holder was offered by the Alsace-Lorraine for the Signature of Peace: it is in gilded bronze. At one end, it is finished with an airplane arrow, at the other, with a gold feather. In the middle, two medallions represent Le Poilu (French infantryman) in campaign clothing, the other, the bell tower of a town in Alsace"

Alsace-Lorraine area is at the frontier of France and Germany. The area was ceded by France to Germany in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War. Alsace–Lorraine was formally ceded back to France in 1920 as part of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919.

The nib which has been broken could be replaced. The pen is in very fine condition with all the fine gilding remaining. It comes with its original document and presentation box.
