To do an accurate writing instrument appraisal, a professional appraiser needs to research the following:

    • The maker of the writing instrument
    • What year it was made
    • The pattern collection
    • The amount of pieces in the set
    • The craftsmanship needed to make the writing instrument
    • The provenance of the writing instrument
    • The condition of the writing instrument
    • How many were made in the production of similar items
    • The type of case manufacture including casting, die striking, repousse and chasing, or other
    • The materials used in its manufacture
    • The type of pen it is i.e. fountain, rollerball, etc.
    • The type of nib it has
    • Whether the box or paperwork are included
