Collectors report consistently positive experiences with the writing instruments of Achim Velte: workmanship is highly praised; the designs count as substantial and exceptional. The edition 'Himmelsscheibe von Nebra' is particularly highlighted as successful. Velte also makes individualised pieces to customer wish, arising as single pieces or in small series. Due to high collecting affinity, lovers often reach for several examples of the same line; the design of some models is perceived as more feminine, which is why it finds less attention in some men's collections.
