It is a Jr. Statesman. I had Constant create a flag with his laser that fit just the body of the pen.
I then turned some alternate ivory for the cap and layed on the 9/11 stamps covered with more coats of CA then I can count.

It was a lot of fun to create as this was my first attempt at stamps and a flag blank.

Thanks for looking!

When I saw that title, I thought, "This better be GOOD"--that's a tough tribute to create.

NICE job, tastefully respectful!!!

That is a top notch pen and idea. Well executed all the way around. Is this for someone special or is this a gift or auction thing. Are you just making them to sell???

Thanks for all the great comments!
I had bought these stamps back in 2002 and always felt bad that the just sat in a drawer and not out where the could be displayed. I was personally moved by the power of the human spirit on that day and the days that followed. Creating this pen for me was a way to display that human spirit and the pride I have in our country. I didn't create this pen for anyone in particular.
I entered this pen in the MPG pen competition, and it took 2nd place. I don't have plans to sell it at this point as it has a special place in my collection.

Thanks! Not for an auction or anything in particular. This pen had a lot of firsts for me, so I plan to hang on to it for a while.

You should hang on to it forever, in a frame or shadow box hanging on you wall! It is a beautiful piece!

I have a friend that was there and that would really be a nice tribute to him and I was wondering are these stamps still available anywhere??? Also how did you deal with the stamps and the finish on top??? What is the blank made of??? Thanks. Hope you don't mind me borrowing your idea.

The more I look at this pen the more I believe this should be a front page pen, not only for the quality of work but just the meaning behind it. I think we should all lobby to get Jeff to put this one on the front page and do whatever it takes to get the photo he needs to make it happen. This is an event that we Should Never Forget and the more reminders we see the better.

I do hope Jeff sees this.

Again nice work and thanks for showing.

And I apologize for that. Next year the contest will definitely be judged differently. Your pen stood out amongst the rest.


Keep your eye on the mail box!!!!
