This pen casing is RAW UNFINISHED BRASS. Over time, each pen will develop a unique patina as it responds to the environment, owner's body chemistry, and the way they handle their pen. It can always be polished to restore its original look.

Any engraving will appear very subtle.

The birth of the .338 Lapua Magnum dates to 1982, when an American company, Research Armament Industries (RAI), in Rogers, Arkansas, was asked by the United States Marine Corps to develop a long-range rifle for sniper applications. RAI was a relatively small company, owned by the late Jerry Haskins, operating mainly in the field of defense technology projects. Officially, the project was to develop a target rifle for 1000 yards, but the purpose was more likely to develop a 1500m sniper rifle.

The cap for this exciting Space Pen model is an actual .338 Lapua Magnum shell. Inside is a raw brass bullet Space Pen. What a special gift for the hunter or outdoors enthusiast!

We recommend you never fly with your .338 Cartridge Space Pen. TSA sometimes won't believe it's a writing instrument!

When closed, Cartridge Space Pens are the perfect size to carry in your wallet, pocket, purse, car glove box, organizer, or toolbox. When open, it's a full sized, evenly balanced writing instrument.
