New "Cognac" addition to the "Guilloche" writing instrument range by Graf von Faber-Castell

Cognac is the new colour in the Guilloche range of writing instruments by Graf von Faber-Castell. Guilloche describes the hand-finished texture on the barrels of these luxury writing implements. Being hand-finished means that every pen is very slightly different to the next. The whole range features a high quality rhodium coating on the cap, grip zones and lids. Also available are the original barrel colours of black, indigo blue and a version where the barrel is also rhodium-plated.

It is interesting to note that the addition of cognac coincides with the discontinuance of the sahara yellow and coral red variants - which we feel is a great shame, particularly as these had been a fun and colourful addition for the brand. Rumour has it, though, that there may be further new colours to come later in the year. We'll keep you posted.

All fountain pens in the luxury Graf von Faber-Castell range feature 18 carat bi-colour gold nibs with iridium tips. The nibs are also partly hand-finished which includes running in by hand.

The Guilloche range is available as a fountain pen in 6 nib widths (£220 incl. VAT), a rollerball pen (£160 incl. VAT), a propelling ball pen (£130 incl. VAT) and a propelling pencil (also £130 incl. VAT). Please note that VAT is only charged to customers in the EU. Outside Europe the prices are VAT-free, so for instance American customers will pay approximately 85.1% of the prices shown above.
