Japanese 6.5 x 50 Type 38 arisaka

My Grandpa served in the Navy in the South Pacific during WWII. He has been gone for over 20 years. I made these pens from some Japanese ammo from that era. The tips are the actual bullets. The tops are made from spalted mango. My grandpa loved mangos. I made these to send to my mom, aunts and uncle. Thanks for your service Grandpa!

That is a very thoughtful gesture on your part !! I am sure they will have a great sentimental meaning to those who receive them. My thanks also to your grandfather for serving !! Jim S
