As I was hooked to Platinum's sterling silver pens, I had to add another one. This pen will join its brother as I posted here recently.

 

The packaing is idential to the Hammered Sterling Silver pen. I have used Hammered Sterling Silver's wood box as a storage box on my desk. This box for the Hammered Antique Sterling Silver, however, will be just stored in my pen closet, as there is no need to use 2 boxes on my desk.

 

As shown, the presentation is immaculate. The pan is well protected in this box.

 

The design of this pen is very unique. The sterling silver finish is treated with some chemical to give off antique-looking appearance. The pen is for cartridge/converter fill, similar to other Platinum pens. The nib being M, I should have no issue with the converter to last me for a few days after a fill up.

 

The nib is made of platinum. I only dip-tested the pen and I am pleased that the pen passed my test with flying colors, like all of my Platinum pens to date. I think I am pushing my luck as this winning streak could not possibly last. But, I am very impressed with Platinum's QC on their pens and nibs.

Congratulations on taking custody of such a beautiful pen. I love the shiny silver one too and now want one of either or both *sigh

I had to add another Platinum Hammered Anique Sterling Silver pen; this time, with a B nib. Compared to my other 2 "non antique looking" hammered sterling silver pen, I find the antique look of the hammered sterling silver very unique. Platinum's platinum nibs are super smooth. The size of Platinum's sterling silver pens is just right when I use them unposted.

 

As this model is hand made, the color and hammered pattern are not identical. So, each pen is unquie in that sense as well.

Thank you for your exciting review. Thanks to you, I am now seriously having a very difficult time deciding if I should have get the pen.

You know, of course , I have got the answer now. The hammer beated my heart!

I'm interested in these pens but I would like to know the exact uncapped length and an uncapped visual comparison against another pen.

 

Can someone help me?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
