Morritz Ballpoint & Pencil set, Black with G/F trim
Durable Base: Brass has been used for decades as a solid, workable metal base for metal pens, cap bands, trim rings, and barrels.
Substantial Weight: Brass is significantly heavier than aluminum or plastic/resin, giving pens a well-balanced, dense, and luxurious feel in the hand.
Raw vs. Lacquered: While some brass pens are left "raw" to develop a natural, dark handling patina over time, manufacturers introduced lacquered brass finishes to seal the metal, prevent tarnishing or metallic scent transfer, and add vibrant colour options
