Metal Trim Restoration | Project Types

Archives

It is quite common for vintage pens to have worn metal trim parts that have lost their gold or other corrosion-resistant top layer, revealing the dull brass beneath (this condition is known as “brassing”). I can restore the appearance of these trim pieces without risk to the pen, in many cases, and give these worn pens a classy facelift.

A client had a Chilton Wingflow in wonderful condition, except that one of the gold filled inlays had been lost. I fabricated a replacement piece and fitted it.
