Bitshird, I spun it from magnetic 430 stainless, I like the 430 because it contains 17 percent chrome so when you polish it looks like chrome. Here are a few others I spun from 430 (solid stainless in the shape of bullets) The larger one is almost 6" tall.>>>>>>>>>>>>>GEBC
Hilltopper, I stretched the pen out, The crown goes down about 1.5" to the twist mech burried in the body of the pen, the entire body is a single shaft. To extend the tip you turn the crown at the top.>>>>>>>>>>GEBC
