The fountain pens, rollerball
pens, propelling pencils and ball pens in the Graf von
Faber-Castell collection are designed as matching sets and
available in several variants. All are available in
reddish brown Pernambuco woot, matte black ebony, dark brown
grenadilla wood or a platinum-plated version.
All three precious woods, i.e.
the Pernambuco which is normally used for violin bows, the very
dark ebony as well as the grenadilla wood are extremely hard
and durable, and correspondingly difficult to work. The
natural variations in grain and colouring means that every
writing implement made from them is unique.
The platinised pens and pencil
are available with a purely platinised surface or a combination
of platinised and wood. The effect is somewhat cooler
than the normal silver plated finish. Platinum is even
more valuable than gols; it has a very hard and very hard
wearing surface that does not oxidise.
The writing implements made from
solid sterling silver represent the highlight of the Graf von
Faber-Castell collection. Apart from the weight they
differ from the platinum plated versions in having a space for
engraving a name and a double milled edge to the cap.
Each implement is numbered and hallmarked on the
cap.
