The classic fountain pen designed by Graf von Faber-Castell is a timeless piece made from solid sterling silver creating a highly polished and shiny finish. The fountain pen is part of the Classic range and as such sits comfortably in your hand with well-engineered mechanisms and robust details. These details include the handy solid metal spring-loaded clip featured near the top of the pen, which is ideal for slipping into your shirt pocket or pen case. The pen features a traditional shape fountain nib made from 18K gold with an iridium metal tip which is a hard, dense silvery-white metal. The barrel of the pen has small vertical grooves carved into the metal for added design and grip when holding. The Graf von Faber-Castell brand name has been engraved around a ring featured beneath the clip part of the pen for subtle branding and authenticity purposes. To reveal the nib there is a cap which you can place on the top of the pen when in use and over the nib for protection when not in use.
