Bullet Cartridge Pens



These are great pens for the gun enthusiast, hunter, or military guy/gal.  They write nicely and are quite the conversation piece.

This is a pen made with 4 clay colors -- copper red, black, white, & beige -- by layering the colors, creating a textured pattern of your choice, and then slicing off the raised portions of the pattern to as many layers as you like to get the desired effect.  Run the clay through the pasta machine to smooth out the clay and you have a sheet of clay that can be applied to the pen tube. Shape the clay to the desired thickness, trim excess clay, and cure. Sand, buff & clear coat and press the pen together! It accepts a Parker style refill and writes very nicely.  These pens come in 24K Gold plating (shown), chrome, or gun metal. Matching pencils are available in 24K Gold or Chrome.  This is a click pen, but is also available in a twist pen version. It features a softer and quieter "click" than many click pens, also.


These are replicas of a 30 caliber cartridges. These are not actual fired cartridges. The optional rose gold tip (shown) can be installed on the pens as well as deer head, rifle or musket clips rather than the standard "scope" style clip (shown).  A 50 caliber machine gun pen is available that is an actual fired cartridge.  The 30 caliber pens are also available in a larger "magnum" size -- about 10% larger than the one shown (available in twist pen version only).  Many bullet cartridge pen styles available...if this is your thing!
