This is my first Longwood 30 Caliber pen from PSI, in gun metal. The blank is Cosmic Dark Bronze, but it's very green. Not unattractive, though.

I don't know about the truth truth Brian but I don't mind saying I don't like it much like all the rest of the bullet pens really, I am not knocking the talent of any turners, it just seems funny to me that people want to use a pen that looks like a bullet, maybe something wrong with me lol in fact it wouldn't surprise me!:ciggrin:.. seems like shooting people everywhere is not enough these days....:rolling:

Like the look and the shape of the pen and think the blank is stunning :thumbs: but make the copper end the same plating as the body.
Then I could go for some of them.

We all have favourites some market driven some personal the comment about the bullet tip is valid to me also. My yardstick in these kits is Les in Canada he likes it as well.

As with most of the "bullet" style pens, and there are quite a few now, the bullet is brass colored to give it the look of a jacketed slug in a gun cartridge. Personally, I like the look a lot, no matter the finish on the rest of the pen hardware,
