CIRCA 1970 FOUNTAIN PEN,PISTON MECHANISM, ROLLED GOLD.AND INTERESTINGLY,I HAVE READ THAT GOLD FILLED MEANS THAT A SHEET OF PURE GOLD IS ATTACHED TO BASE METAL USING HEAT AND PRESSURE'SO IT NEVER TARNISHES OR BLEEDS,I AM ALWAYS READY TO BE CORRECTED,IF I AM WRONG.
You are pretty much right on about how rolled gold is made. Unfortunately most places buying gold scrap don't want it because there is so little gold and the recovery process is expensive.
YES,I AM AWQARE OF THAT,BUT THE PROCESS USED ON WATCHES AND OTHER OBJECTS GIVES A GOLD LUSTRE FOE AN ENORMOUS PERIOD,THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.
