Note: This pen, instead of featuring the signature of Alexandre Dumas, author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo, features the signature of his son, Alexandre Dumas fils, who was a successful author and playwright in his own right. Sets featuring this signature were recalled and have since become a collector's item.
