The Viceroy Grand Victorian makes a very elegant statement. The oversized barrel and heavier weight suit a bigger hand. The Victorian is hand-chased, which means the pattern is hammered (about 2000 times) freehand with a set of tools and a hammer. No pattern is applied beforehand, and the look of the finished product depends on which silversmith did the work. This means each pen is unique (and has been decorated without losing any silver, as would happen in engraving.). There is an engraving panel on the cap for personalization.
