Batteries? Doesn't use Batteries. Rather, matter-antimatter matrix.

You'd think a pen that big would have room for a spell-check software.

There are some pens that are large enough I have compared them to an artillery shell. This thing is a full sized cannon. Good hunting.

Be careful where you point that bazooka!

Ha! I love it!

David as usual is being his funny self...
Anyone who knows David also knows that he is vertically challenged...
That is actually a full size Sheaffer... it just looks that big because David is short...

How much does it costs in average to ink that? (I guess you need at least two gallons of ink. That must be expensive.) :-D

Is that what they refer to as a "low blow"?

I wouldn't mind having one of those puppies.


Now, I would need to find a way to get away with putting it in my pocket somehow. roflmho.gif

I met David (and OldGriz) at Richard Binder's table during the Philly Show 2007 (though neither may remember because it was in passing). I can attest that David is not short. He is taller than me. smile.gif

Nice pen and a really rare find ! But how to take it home and where to store it and... how to show it. There is this penstore in The Hague, The Netherlands that has an equally large (Parker) pen mounted at the facade of their store. Maybe something to consider. hmm1.gif

I've got a 55 gallon drum of Skrip that I'll sell you to fill that!

Nice find Sir. Hopefully I can hunt one of those down some day. It would
look great suspended over my Sheaffer table. lticaptd.gif

I can't edit my old post, but i just had to say, I would love to have a 'pen' just like it, but I take it such pieces are not too common?

It does tempt me to try and make one myself as a woodworking project though. If only I had a lathe to use....


Of course, I wouldn't know where to begin in making a matching ink bottle. happyberet.gif
