Is there any way to tell the difference.....

[Monty]

between the different platings besides whats labled on the package?
Is there some noticable visual difference between a chrome plated pen and and a platinum pen? Or a 24K gold vs upgrade gold vs 10K gold vs Tn Gold?

I do see the difference...on some, I need both for comparison though.

If memory serves me right, I think the most difficult for me to distinguish was for the Jr Gent TN Gold vs. their 10K.

If you look carefully, you can distinguish the difference. Just make sure you have a known-good reference made by that manufacturer.
