The Perfecta is a slightly shorter model for a smaller hand. The pencil 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 pencil is unique (and has been decorated without losing any silver, as would happen in engraving). All Perfecta models feature a blank panel for personalization. Includes 12 3" leads stored within the barrel of the pencil Comes with a polishing cloth Made of English Sterling Silver Hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office Handmade in England
