Silver clip pens
-
Pens often have clips.
-
The clip has to be a hard spring. Normal procedure is to stamp and form
from metal which has been worked hardened by rolling down.
Great technique if you are making 10,000's with tooling costs shared, not so
good for small quanities
-
My solution was to cast using Argentium sterling. This alloy will precipation
harden far more than traditional sterling in spite of its slightly higher
silver content. There is also a great deal of attention paid to the clips
geometry for maximum stregnth
-
This particular pen has a frosted bead blasted silver finish
