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."

The Art of Toledo
Named after the historic Spanish city of Toledo, this collection celebrates a decorative technique that dates back centuries. The heart of every pen is a sleeve made of solid Sterling Silver, which is meticulously hand-engraved by a master goldsmith. Because each tiny feather of the pelican motif is carved individually by hand, no two Toledo pens are ever identical. It is a labor of love and precision that breathes life into the metal, creating a texture you can feel with every touch.
Gold & Craftsmanship
Following the intricate engraving, the silver sleeve is coated with a thick layer of 24-karat gold. This "gold-on-silver" tradition ensures a warm, radiant glow that will last for generations. The pen features Pelikan's signature 18-karat bicolor gold nib, offering a writing experience that is as soft and expressive as the artwork on the barrel. Every detail—from the iconic beak clip to the gold-plated rings—is a testament to German engineering meeting Spanish artistry.
Exclusivity & Heritage
Owning a Pelikan Toledo is an entry into an exclusive circle of connoisseurs. Due to the immense time required for the hand-engraving process (only a few pieces can be created each month), the Toledo is a rare treasure. Each writing instrument is signed by the master engraver, comes with an individual certificate of authenticity, and is presented in a high-quality gift box. It is not just a pen; it is a legacy—a timeless investment in the world’s finest writing culture.
