30 caliber and magnum bolt action pens in gun metal, for a father and son. Getting an early start on my Christmas list.

Jim,

These are well made and finished, and the recipients are gonna love 'em. Just one point though, in my humble opinion - as the main idea of bullet pens is to show the gun/bullet details I feel that the blank used is a little too "busy", and distracts the eye from them. But, well done, matey, they are fine pens!

Bob.

Love extras in pens food for thought plenty to look at and like bit like sports car v sedan. Your sporting version came with thought one straight pen and one curved alike but different using the same materials Jim will you give them together or separated in boxes? Just love the variations in the two pens beaut blanks great presents.
