50 caliber bullet flip pen with wood from the USS Missouri Deck

When the decks of the USS Missouri was refurbished in 2012, many pieces of the deck were given out to people interested in owning a piece of military history. Recently, I was presented with a piece with two requirements: 1) the person who gave me the wood would get the first pen. 2) that I would keep a piece for myself, but not just put it on a shelf to collect dust. I met both of those requirements by making 2 pens for him and myself, but now, I'm offering some to you. The piece of teak which adorns this pen was on the ship when it travelled to the Persian Gulf in 1991, was a part of the ship when "Under Siege" was filmed, and also when Cher filmed the music video for "If I Could Turn Back Time." This unique 50 caliber project not only adorns your desktop with an authentic once fired 50 caliber bullet, but flip the inside pen out for a unique and convenient writing instrument. An actual 50 caliber shell acts as a holder/sleeve/stand for the easily removable pen inside. Features a solid copper bullet tip. The kit uses o-rings to seal in the refill for a guaranteed long refill life. Includes a smooth writing Rollerball refill. If you or someone you know are interested in owning a piece of real military history, this is a great piece!
