Not trolling, of course.
Yes, it is the "V" shape bright cut I am after. I finalized an arrangement for it to be done this morning. It will be Diamond cut by a workshop specializing in pen engraving. If it looks terrible, perhaps I can find a hand engraver to go over it with a graver...
Yes, you're spot on, the pictures of those black resin pens are not engraved or dragged, but mine is a polished steel cap, not resin. I added the pics to show the style and scale because I couldn't find any pictures of metal caps with similar engravings.
I completely appreciate the highly...
I'm definitely not averse to having it hand-engraved, it's just that it's not easy to source a hand engraver without doing a fair amount of research (that's an obstacle in itself). Searching "hand engravers" in my region throws up all the usual trophy and corporate-client engraving businesses...
Haha, the stainless steel Meisterstuck is not made like this anymore. The ones Montblanc makes now are textured and patterned steel, this one is plain and polished.
I guess it would be worth around $700, but the issue is that they aren't easily replaced. You'd have to come across an old new...
Haha, no problem, I understand. Seems like it's a relatively intensive set-up job for such a small and one-off engraving. It could be done with a laser in a couple of minutes but I just don't like the look of that, looks too "corporate gift" to me.
Hand engraving is an option, but as the...
Yes, I've learned that this is a pita for all involved, including me! However it must be able to be done, the picture here shows a silver Montblanc cap with what appears to be a diamond dragged company logo.
Thanks for that, I'm open to hand engraving as an option. Feel free to recommend any engravers by name if you know of any in the NYC area. I have tried to search for "hand engravers new york" but nothing other than all the regular trophy shop engravers shows up, as well as a Times article for a...
Thanks for that, good advice. This is pretty much what I have been doing. I think I may have found someone with the right equipment. A lot of the trophy/plaque engravers I contacted didn't have the capacity to diamond drag cylindrically. It seems like most of that corporate stuff is done with...
Thanks for that. I suppose I'm open to having it hand engraved. By hand engraving do you mean with a little electric rotary engraver or just with handheld tools?
I suppose the philosophy of the facsimile is a little different depending on the method. I liked the idea that the signature was...
Hi there,
I am not an engraver, I am a client. I am looking to have a facsimile signature engraved on the cap of a valuable pen made of polished stainless steel.
I do not want it laser engraved however I am happy to have it diamond drag engraved. I have consulted a shop to do this but they...
