Fountain pen Graf von Faber-Castell Pen of the Year ® 2010, nut wood/platinum/gold, broad nib (B)
Discover the new 2010 edition of the Pen of the Year® that repeats the perpetual search for rare materials and design by the prestigious brand of Graf von Faber-Castell
The aesthetic appeal of some very valuable hand-crafted hunting rifles, owned by Count Roland von Faber-Castell, inspired the Pen of the Year® 2010, combining rare Caucasian nut wood adorned with case-hardened metal parts, fine engravings, and finalized with precious platinum and gold parts and nib
Until the late 19th century, case hardening was the sign of a high-quality gun, with the inimitable shimmering coloration it provides
For centuries, the technique was handed down by word of mouth and was something of a secret art
The metal parts are usually packed in carbonized leather and heated to convert the surface into steel; the colours appear on cooling after some twenty delicate and precise operations
The set is displayed in a magnificent nutwood case, with international lifetime guarantee and annual maintenance
