Sterling Silver Solitiaires

[Blade Runner]

I like all of them and they are very close in terms of preference, but my order is:

 

1.Original barleycorn

2.Pinstripe

3.Current barleycorn

4.Fiber guilloche

5.Pure silver

 

What's your order?

[Darius]

1. New Silver Barley

2. Pure Silver

3. Original Sterling Silver Barley

4. Silver Guilloche

5. Sterling Silver Pinstrip

 

If you include Meistersuck LE's made of silver, then it's a different story.

I use a 144 SS Solitiare which has the barleycorn finish but not sure whether its the original one or not. What is the difference ? If you advise it will save me going to root through all my MB catalogues.

Thanks for that. I have the earlier type and initial impressions of the newer type make me thankful. Not to say I would never own onw in due course !

[Wael El-Dasher]

1.Pure silver

2.New Silver...

 

Bryant...I like how you think

[steel]

1. New Sterling Barley

 

From an aesthetic standpoint, the all white metal nib seals the deal.

 

2. Pure Silver

[PigRatAndGoat]

What's the "pure silver"?

[FredRydr]

What's the "pure silver"?

Yeah, what's that?

Pure Silver is a discontinued silver pen. It's very elegant and has no gold plating on the cap rings or under the piston knob. It's model #05838 in 146 size. Here is a link on this reseller's website.

 

I am not affiliated with them nor have I purchased from them in the past...I just found an image on their website.

 

cheers
