Classic Pens CP2 Pushkin 1993
The second limited edition in the Classic Pens CP series, the Sheaffer Crest CP2 Pushkin Pen, was released in 1993. The pen was a collaboration between Classic Pens, Sheaffer, and the Pushkin Prizes, a literary awards program for children in Ireland presided over by the Duchess of Abercorn, Alexandra Anastasia "Sacha" Hamilton (née Phillips; 1946–2018), a direct descendant of Aleksandr Pushkin (great-great-great-granddaughter via his daughter Natalya and Romanov lines). She was the wife of the 5th Duke of Abercorn, James Hamilton. Aleksandr Pushkin is considered by many sources as a founding father of modern Russian literature. Classic Pens gave a donation to the Pushkin Prizes for each pen sold.
