Found this pencil in between my granddads old rubble. Was wandering if anyone knows more bout it. Was it a collectors item? how much is worth? how old it is? Any feedback would be much appreciated...

Meisterstuck Doue Sterling Silver Pencil made in Germany. Yes, collectors item they are all limited edition, looks to be from the National Socialist era Germany. Your item looks real; but there are pot metal copies dumped on the market and has hurt values. Last real one I saw on the market was sold at auction for $185.00
Great feedback...Thank you so much Papa ;)
its 11cm
love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great find! And good eye, AR8Jason. How much will 10K gold change the value from sterling?
10 K is approx 41.7 % pure gold the value would change it the meltdown category.
The engraved letters interest me. Was your grandad of German heritage? These initials might be I R or R I. But then might it be a Russian/Cyrillic script?
