Hello All,

As a Special Edition, Pelikan launches the traditional model Toledo in autumn 2010 in a bright yellow color.
The art of working with Damascus steel goes back thousands of years. It means that steel or iron objects are decorated by engraving a pattern into the surface. In the year 1931 Pelikan adopted this technique for the Toledo model with so much success that the design has remained virtually unchanged throughout the years.
Today the decorative sleeve is made of one piece in Sterling Silver. It is treated carefully in various different steps until the motive is covered with a layer of palladium to obtain a silver sheen that will not dull with times.
Every Toledo fountain pen is a unique piece made in Germany because the tiny engravings in the motif are made by hand, making each Pelikan feather come alive. Due to the high amount of work, a maximum of 200 pieces can be created each month. The clip and the rings are palladium plated. This fountain pen is delivered in a Toledo gift box.
The nib is made of 18 carat gold with a rhodium trim and an iridium grain. It is available in the sizes EF, F, M and B.
