The body of the pen was created from a damaged shotgun stock, hand turning a piece of Perazzi Turkish Walnut to the required diameter. It is then sanded smooth with several grades of abrasive finally using 12000 grit micromesh to  finish it to a mirror polish.  Four coats of a special hard polish are then applied. Each being buffed to a high shine on a revolving lathe. Perazzi Shot guns are some of the best in the world. Their stocks and forends are made of the finest quality Walnut root from centuries-old trees, like the one in the photograph.. Each blank is carefully selected and classified before they are subjected to a long drying processing before being made into stocks. Grading is based on the detail and colours of wood grain. This stock was graded SCO which is the highest grade Perazzi use.

The mechanism design is based on a five-speed H pattern car gear change and can be shifted just like the real thing! Authenticity abounds; The cap features a car tyre with a true to life tread and hubcap. The tip features the same tyre tread as the cap. The gear knob includes an etched five-speed pattern. And the industrialised crowbar clip attaches to the body with two small screws rounds to out the design.

The refill fully advances at the front of the shifter and fully retracts at the back of the shifter.
The design uses a popular Parker style refill which can be accessed by unscrewing the tip to  reveal the refill. Replacement is simply a reverse of the process.

I made it using a piece of Turkish Walnut retrieved from a broken Miroku shotgun stock.  This wood is renown for its spectacularly swirly reddish chocolatey brown grain patterns. This particular blank came from a Grade 5 stock which means it was originally selected for its particularly high quality grain.

The metal fittings of this pen have a highly polished 22kt gold finish to contrast with the highly polished black grip and end cap. The polished wooden body of the pen is separated from the polished  grip by an attractive  engraved gold band.

A black Parker type refill is fitted as standard, but can easy be changed by carefully pulling  the lower metal section from the coloured part of the pen. The metal twist mechanism is then unscrewed to reveal the refill.

This standard refill can be purchased at most stationary stores.

Any shooter will appreciate how this pen works and it will be the talk of the town.

Made from a broken Grade 5 Miroku shotgun stock. Only the most stunning grain blanks are used to make grade 5 stocks and are very sought after.  Despite a gun stock looking quite large they are deceptive in that much of the interior is removed to lighten the gun. Unfortunately for the handmade pen maker this means that very few pen blanks can be made from each stock.

What a perfect gift idea!

The replica .30 calibre bullet cartridge and the chrome bullet tip both add authenticity to the look of this pen.

The pen has been made by hand turning a piece of  Mountain Ash and finishing it to a mirror polish.  All external components are glossy gunmetal plated to provide durable and dependable service.

The pen is very stylish and shows well in all lighting conditions and will make a memorable gift for any occasion, such as a Birthday, Father’s Day, Christmas, or Graduation Day.

The woodwork was sanded six times with progressively finer grit  abrasive to create a very smooth surface.  The surface is polished to a mirror like shine using 12 polishing steps to create a showroom quality finish.

Comes with your choice of ink color and a velvet sleeve. Replacement Parker Style ink cartridges can be found at most stationers.

You’ll also receive a Certificate of Authenticity with each pen ordered.

Product dimensions are the size of the pen inside its box. The pen in the picture is the one you will receive.

If you are interested in multiple pens, please contact us. Since each pen is a unique work of art, exact duplicates are not possible but we will do our best to create duplicates of the pen, using the same wood and finish.
