The second limited edition in the Classic Pens CP series, is the Sheaffer Crest CP2 Pushkin Pen, launched in 1993.

This launch was the fruit of a special collaboration between Classic Pens, Sheaffer and the Pushkin Prizes, a literary awards program for children in Ireland presided over by the Duchess of Abercorn, descendant of Aleksandr Pushkin, the founding father of modern Russian literature. Classic Pens gave a donation to the Pushkin Prizes for each pen sold.

The series was offered in a single worldwide limited edition of 500 sterling silver pens in an elaborate Barleycorn finish, exclusive to Classic Pens for the Crest model in sterling silver. The Crest replicates the elegant design of the Sheaffer esteemed Snorkel pen of the 1950s.
