Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.The art of working with Damascus steel goes back thousands of years, which works by engraving a pattern into the surface. Next, a thin sheet of gold is placed over the pattern and is embossed deep into the material with the help of a hammer, which is then heated to 800°C. This technique traveled with the Arabs into Spain and has been perfected th...roughout the centuries, particularly in the famous Spanish town Toledo.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 gold (or palladium to obtain a silver surface). Every Toledo fountain pen is a unique piece made in Germany. This is because the tiny engravings in the motif are made by hand, making each Pelikan feather come alive.
