Term sometimes stamped onto an unbranded pen point. What is being warranted, and who is warranting it, are not always clear. Commonly supposed to mean a point that is warranted to be solid 14k gold, although this is by no means always true. The term is also used by collectors as a shorthand for an unbranded replacement (non-original) point found on a name-brand pen. Not to be confused with "lifetime guarantee" of some pens (such as Sheaffer Lifetime)
