The sleeve

The sleeve with the green/black Stresemann stripes is the result of numerous manufacturing steps. Firstly a small plate of raw material is punched out of a sheet and then welded into a tube.
Artificial resin is sprayed into the inside of the tube, sealing it to prevent the ink from leaking.
A high-precision lathe with grinding diamond then gives the Stresemann barrel its classic profile and leaves it smooth but grippable to the touch.
The cap rings are cut off a brass tube and then gold-plated with high-quality material. An injection moulding machine fixes the rings to the cap.
