Monte verde pen

Some one brought me a Monte Verde Pen. The top is shiny and looks like chrome but not sure, Does any one know if that pen is laser engraveable with thermark? I am concerned that it is chrome plated plastic.

I would be surprised if you're dealing with coated plastic. MonteVerde is a quality pen. Everything listed on their website as chromed is either chrome over brass or chrome over alloy.

LOL . . . Do I have to admit I was wrong? I don't suppose I could get by on a technicality and say that acrylic isn't exactly plastic.

Glad you got the answer you needed.
