Fleming's signature stands in high relief around the barrel, representing the countless prescriptions written since 1928, and the cap reconstructs his original petri dish. The background is engraved in a vertical motif interrupted by stems, branches and spores — penicillium as it appears under the glass. The clip emulates an inoculating loop and the gripping section is engraved with the chemical formula for penicillin. This roller ball is finished in Grey \u0026amp; White with polished .925 sterling silver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: #8C6F4E;\"\u003eTHE CRAFT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eHand-crafted from .925 sterling silver. Each component passes through multiple stages of precision engraving to create the guilloché pattern, then hard enamel — glass, water and metal oxides ground by hand with a mortar and pestle — is applied with a quill, kiln-fired at over 1,000 °F, filed back by hand with a diamond file and fired again until the enamel fills every valley of the engraving. The pieces are then polished and buffed to the velvet finish of true translucent hard enamel. A five-year apprenticeship is required to master the process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 10.0pt 0cm 5.0pt 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cb style=\"color: #8C6F4E;\"\u003eTHE COLLECTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eThe Alexander Fleming Collection is the 23rd in the David Oscarson series of Limited Edition writing instruments.
