Silver pens

[MacW]

Morning all.

I have a friend's wedding next month and was thinking about buying a couple of silver pens with the relevant date engraved on them as a wedding gift.

I did look briefly at gold pens but swiftly realised I may be able to pretend to be rich in a bar but that pretense will only get me so far

I've always like the style and simplicity of the Cross Century range but they don't seem to lend themselves particularly well to being engraved due to the line pattern on them.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an alternative make (or experience of engraving Cross pens that proves me wrong) I could look at? Budget would be about £100 per pen with engraving extra if need be.

Many thanks.

Try Yard-o-led pens. Might just be outside of your budget though.

Have a look on penshop.co.uk. They have a category 'engraveable' which takes some of the hassle out of searching. Not sure on their pricing though.

We engrave Cross Century pens all the time, they are slim so they don't suit large text and we engrave in between the lines on them, I will have a look to see if I have any back at the office, they wont be 'real' silver and i also a few other nice makes of pen that engrave very nicely. We normally deal in large volumes for large corporations but I'm happy to engrave some pens for you, we only offer laser engraving because its the best.
My company can be found here www.lasermarked.com if you want to call or email me all the contact info is on there, ask for Matt. Also I can guarantee you way cheaper prices than you will find anywhere else, you would be staggered the markup on pens, I would expect change out of £50 for both pens engraved and shipped !
