Here are some photos of the 105mm pen and pencil set that I introduced at the 2008 MPG. They are retractable, refillable, and could be used for writing, although it is not very convenient to do so.
The first photo shows a size comparison between all of the military casing/bullet pens that I have made. Shown are the 30mm, 25mm, 50 BMG, and the 30 cal bullet pens. The pens on the right use the cross refill while those on the left use the parker refill. The pencil uses the artists sketch pencil kit.
This next photo show a close-up (sort of) of the nib ends. The nib for the pen was made from a 1/2 inch bolt that I turned to shape on a wood lathe using a file and hack saw as cutting tools.
This next photo shows the imprinted text on the bases of the pen and pencil.
This last photo shows a close-up of the pencil base. Here the recessed push button which activates the pencil mechanism is clearly shown. Also visible are the stampings that indicate the size (105MM) and the year of production (1975).
I intend to use these at future arts and crafts shows for a display. I hope to bring more customers to my booth and to draw attention to my military pens.
