New Bullet Pen

[rayf6604]

This is a modified version of the one below, I thought I'd make it differently. I know others here have made this style before but it's a first for me. Which style do you think looks better?

Nicely turned Ray although I don't care for the kit design myself. Just personal choice.

The case on top was made in 1993 if it of interested well made though

Nice job Ray I have no preference

I've made both Ray and my personal choice is the second one which is the only one I make now. Unfortunately it uses 2 shell cases.

Alex. How do you read the dates on the shells?

 

[Bill Mooney]

Two nice pens Ray. I prefer the second one.

Well on that one it MEN 93 which is the makes head stamp plus date

Some you can not tell date as they don't have them here are a couple of examples View attachment 20877View attachment 20878View attachment 20879

So the first one it 2002 second 1998 and the third is 1976 which was a round from the 1976 Palma match which is equivalent to the worlds champions for TR shooting

Ray I confess the style is how I made my first cartridge pen after the style was shown me by a Vietnam veteran from Tasmania who was forced to find an occupation following psdt or something like that he gave a kit to Dick Sing visiting from the USA so I like the style, I do like timber.

Taking nothing away from your pens thanks for showing.'

Nicely done.
Have you considered making the nibs with actual bullets for an authentic rifle cartridge look?
