One year later a guillotine was erected where King Louis XVI and Queen Marie Antoinette were beheaded. After the July revolution of 1830 the city of love entered a period of somewhat more peaceful times – and the square of harmony became known as the impressively sounding “Place de la Concorde”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEelaborately crafted blue-grey ring striped noble resin materials, set in sterling-plated trim bestow each writing instrument with a special kind of appeal that is inimitable, fascinating and stratified like the square whose name it bears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Pelikan Place de la Concorde R620 Rollerball comes to the shop pre-owned from a private collection, and has the papers, box, and outer sleeve.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe R620 was a special edition of pens known as the “Cities” series, first released in 2002, all of which are now sold-out.
