This edition features the rare Arowana fish, also known as a Dragon Fish. Arowanas are protected species, illegal to import into many countries. In Asia these fish are thought to be the living representation of the mythical Chinese Dragon. Nice versions of these fish can command hundreds of thousands of dollars, and are thought to bring the owner good fortunes, wealth, and good business. They have long metallic scales, which Mr. Nishihara represents both on the fish and abstractly on the cap.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMother of pearl is also used in diamonds, and misc shapes, along with a circle on the bottom and smaller throughout to represent bubbles in the water.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan color=\"#000000\" style=\"color: #cccccc;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e There are only to be 51 numbered pieces produced on this modified (cap) version of the Model 03. $950 for the pen.
