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.

Argentium silver  (patented in 1998) is a brand of modern tarnish-resistant silver alloys, containing either 93.5%, 94% or 96% silver. Argentium alloys replace some of the copper in the traditional sterling silver (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) with the metalloid germanium. Argentium 935, Argentium 940 and Argentium 960 alloys exceed the standard required for hallmarking as sterling silver, and Argentium 960 silver meets the standard for hallmarking as Britannia silver (95.84% silver). Silvadium, Sterlium  is 93% silver, and other metals Sterling silver  is an alloy composed by weight of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness of 925.   and then there i...

"Gemini pens"

 It's play time. I asked Gemini to create some fountain pens. Unfortunately, Gemini still has some problems in creating a fountain pen. I am still working on how to make reliably such a pen with Gemini. The problem could be with my prompts or it could be on the Gemini side. Nevertheless - enjoy!
