Pen Is Mightier Than the Sword – Crossed Quill and Saber Emblem

A quill pen and a curved cavalry saber cross in an X over a shaded oval of engraved lines, framed by the famous motto about the pen and the sword. The lettering is the real draw here, with spiky Victorian display type arched across the top, chunky block capitals running straight through the middle, and a heavier line of type along the bottom. The basket hilt of the saber and the long feathered quill are drawn in crisp detail, so the emblem holds up well at larger sizes. It would make a strong tote bag for a bookshop or a local writing group.
