deer antler & gold 30 Cal Bolt Action Bullet Cartridge Pen, Handmade

Description

You are looking at a bolt-action pen made with gold colored metal parts.  The tip of the pen is a rose/copper color.  The opposite end of the pen is shaped to look like a primer in a .30 caliber cartridge.  The "primer" is also rose/copper colored.  The barrel of the pen was turned from a piece of deer antler.  The antler was sanded to 600 grit, then finished with several layers of CA glue buffed into the antler, polishing it to a medium shine.
Please note that I was able to turn the antler in such a way so as to leave part of the exterior of the antler exposed.  Thus, the surface of the antler isn't smooth, as it has some indentations where the exterior of the antler is exposed.  This adds to the uniqueness of the pen.  This can be seen in a couple of the close-ups.
The pen is about 5.25 inches long retracted.
The point is extended by pushing the bolt toward the tip and in to the notch and to retract just reverse that action.The clip is shaped like a scoped rifle. The pen uses a Parker style refill, when a refill is needed you just unscrew the tip and replace it, just make sure you put the spring back on the new refill then just screw the tip back on the pen. You should be able to find the Parker refills at an office supply store near you.  The ink included with the pen is black.
