Waldmann pens in Vermeil

Since I am in the pen business, ahem, I mean the hobby of using pens, I always wanted a set of gold pens.

In the beginning of my quest for such a pen, I focused on Montblanc pens until I realized they are overlays, just a thin sheet of gold over a normal resin pens. That is not what I wanted.

A few years ago, I met online the CEO of Waldmann pens, Stefan Schnirch, and through his help I got a very special set of gold pens. Actually, they are vermeil pens, gold-coated Sterling pens.

Here they are - excuse the bad hand-writing, I am still working on improving that.

The base of these golden pens is the model Precieux Lines in Sterling silver which is meanwhile out of production, I bought the two last fountain pens and the last rollerball.

Ball-pen and mechanical pencil might still be in stock. These solid silver pens were then coated with 5 um of 24k yellow gold. I also have a fountain pen coated with rose-gold instead of the yellow-gold. That pen even has an 18k gold nib coated with rose-gold.

These pens accompany me every day to work.

This kind of modification is also possible with other silver pens from Waldmann, check their website for available silver pens and contact them directly.

Waldmann - over the years

Preserving the Legacy A Note on This Research I am presenting these collected findings on Waldmann Pens to ensure that this historical data is preserved for the community, even after I eventually step away from active collecting. I would be deeply grateful for any corrections or additional information that fellow enthusiasts might be able to share to further complete this record. in progress Introduction "Gold und Silber mag ich sehr"—so goes the line of a classic German folk song. While the English equivalent, "I like gold and silver very much," is a simple translation, it became my personal mantra when I began collecting pens. Fate struck in 2017 in the form of a seemingly overlooked pen on Yahoo Auctions. According to the description, it was a Waldmann, crafted in Germany from sterling silver with a star-shaped guilloché pattern. Curiously, it languished through several auction rounds without a single bid. For four weeks, I checked back anxiously, watching and wa...
