## What is the Graf von Faber-Castell Guilloche ballpoint?

**It is the ballpoint version of the brand's engraved-resin Guilloche line: a slim barrel with a wave pattern cut into it, metal trim and a solid spring-loaded clip.** Graf von Faber-Castell says guilloche, a pattern of fine engraved lines, once decorated precious watches and objects such as the Fabergé eggs, and that the resin barrel is given its pattern line by line before manual lacquering and polishing.

The series also includes the [Guilloche fountain pen](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/graf-von-faber-castell-guilloche-fountain-pen/), with a gold nib. For the brand see our [Faber-Castell history](https://stationerytimes.com/stories/faber-castell-history/).

## What refill does it take?

**A black large-capacity refill in the international standard size, line width B, which the maker calls document-proof.** Graf von Faber-Castell sells its own refills, and its page doesn't list other brands that fit, so match the length against your old refill. Our [best ballpoint pens](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-ballpoint-pens/) guide covers other refillable ballpoints.

The maker's page doesn't say how the point extends, whether by click or twist, so check before buying if that matters to you.


## Is there a Guilloche rollerball?

**Yes, with fast-drying black ink and a smooth-running precision point.** The Sage Green and Rose Blush rollerballs are 131 mm, 12 mm across and 28 g, and the Black Edition rollerball is 135 mm, 13 mm and 44 g. The Sage Green rollerball is wider than its ballpoint (12 mm against 9 mm) and 1 g heavier. Our [best rollerball pens](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-rollerball-pens/) picks show how the format compares.

## What colors does it come in?

**Black Edition, Sage Green and Rose Blush are the ballpoints we read in full.** The maker's pages also link ballpoints in Champagne Blush, Ciselé Anthracite, Cognac, Electric Pink, India Red and Turquoise, plus a rhodium-plated version. The metal finish follows the color, as the fact card above shows.

## How does it compare with a Faber-Castell ballpoint?

**It is slimmer and lighter than Faber-Castell's own e-motion Pure Silver.** Cult Pens lists the [e-motion Pure Silver](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/faber-castell-e-motion-pure-silver-ballpoint/) at 124 mm, 14 mm and 46 g, against 27 g and 9 mm for the Sage Green Guilloche. Both are premium metal-trimmed pens from the same company; the Guilloche is engraved resin with a clip, the e-motion a twist pen in chrome-plated metal.

## What does it cost?

**Cult Pens' US store listed Guilloche ballpoints at US$261.69 and the Sage Green rollerball at US$333.07 on October 31, 2026.** Both fall in our $$$$ band, over $75. Graf von Faber-Castell's own pages showed no price, and its "Rose" rollerball was listed at US$327.12, which the retailer doesn't explain.

## Where is it made?

**The maker's page text doesn't say.** We list the origin as not stated.
