Product Description
"Damascus patterning technique
The art of Damascus patterns is thousands of years old. It compromises an elaborate method of applying ornamentation to steel or iron by impressing a thin gold film onto the surface. In the next step the motif is etched on by hand, with the filigree detail giving the motif a life of its own. This sophisticated technology was brought to Spain by Arab settlers, where it was perfected over centuries, especially in the City of Toledo. Since 1931 Pelikan successfully applies this technology for its Toledo writing instrument. Until today the pattern is nearly unaltered.
Unique pieces - Manufactured by hand
Today, the decorative barrel is produced from a single piece of 925 sterling silver. Once the barrel has received multiple special treatments, the motif is applied using a layer of gold. Each Toledo writing instrument is a unique piece manufactured in Germany. As a result of the taxing craftsmanship required, only a maximum of 50 instruments per month can be made. Every one of them is a great masterpiece in itself, and a small piece of history. The cap as well as the front and top part are produced out of black high-grade resin. The fountain pen Toledo M900 with piston filling mechanism provides a 18-carat bi-color gold nib with rhodium trim and is available with the nib sizes EF, F, M or B. The Toledo fountain pens are always automatically delivered inside an attractive, black gift box and come together with a coordinated certificate and booklet. The M nib creates a medium typeface and is suitable for handwritings with bigger swings."

Toledo® M 900 & M 700
The art of damascening is thousands of years old. It is used to decorate steel or iron objects and to refine the surface with precious metals. Pelikan adopted this technique for the Toledo model. Today, the decorative sleeve is made of one piece 925 Sterling Silver. It is treated carefully in various different steps until the motif is covered with a layer of gold. Every Toledo writing instrument is a unique piece manufactured in Germany. The tiny engravings in the motif are made by hand, making each fountain pen a great masterpiece in itself and small piece of history.
