The slim metal barrel of the Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio Black Ballpoint promises stylish writing pleasure whose fine fluting is a real eye-catcher. The surface of the Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio Black Ballpoint also attests to its meticulous craftsmanship: the technically-innovative varnish created specially for the "Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio" is applied several times and imparts it with a durable, noble, matt look. Highly polished front and end pieces accent the barrel to great affect just like the subtlety engraved "Handmade in Germany" seal of quality. The Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio is available in six beautiful colours as fountain pen, rollerball, ballpoint and mechanical pencil. The Graf von Faber-Castell Tamitio Black Ballpoint use the standard international size ballpoint refills which can be found in our webstore. In 1761, Kaspar Faber started to produce pencils in Stein, near Nuremberg. When the fourth generation,Baron Lothar von Faber, took over the company in 1839 he turned the pencil into a true quality product and the world's first branded writing instrument. Over the centuries, he and his descendants created remarkable products. The result is the Graf von Faber-Castell Collection, a range of extraordinary writing instruments and accessories. They embody "Luxury in Simplicity" by combining selected materials, functionality and superb aesthetics.
