These pens are made from actual .30-06 cartridges (Gunpowder removed). The wood is whatever I have on hand at the time of making them. I normally have Purple Heart, Rosewood, Cocobolo, Mahogany, & Walnut. At present I have one acrylic and it is ruby with black marblizing. The below picture is one of the pens.

I also make different full wood pens from varing wood.  If you have a preference, let me know.

Hi hey those really cool! And I really dig odd pens. So how are asking for them, and the shipping would be to 43551 zip code?

Thanks much, Tom.

The price on the Rifle Cartridge Pens is $45.00. I haven’t shipped any of the pens yet, everything has been local. I don’t expect it would be more than $5.00.

 

Thanks

Great Frank,

 

Put your best looking wood pen aside for me. The check will be in the mail Monday.

Any of the woods you mentioned will be OK.

 

Thanks,

Mike Madden

I've set aside what I think is the best looking.  It is Mahogany and has some very nice looking grain.

Got your check yesterday, I'll deposit it tomorrow (Monday). Your pen should be on it's way soon.  Thank you very much. Please show it around and maybe you can drum up a few other sales for me.  Being retired, I need beer and wood money. LOL  Take care and again, thank you very much.

I am selling them on the internet here in the states for $50.00 US. And that includes postage. I will have to figure out what that is in UK Money and what the Postage would be to GB. There would also be a charge for currency exchange.  I think the last time I purchased from anyone in the UK it was like a 50P charge. The price would also depend on the rate of exchange at the time. I don't have a problem selling to the UK if all that can be worked out. Oh, and they take a regular Cross pen refill.
