    Not so much the pen but what's inside the cap. Flown piece of heat shield from Apollo 11 . Cross over with my Apollo collection that is as out of control as my watches !!

    Hey, why not? I'm sure a lot of ocean junkies bought the RJ watch made from metal recovered off the titanic and plenty of paleontologist have the petrified dinosaur poop watch.

    We're all suckers for something sometimes, waiting for pen with part of lume from an original 2998 dial ;-)

    I've just been cleaning and refilling my daily-use pens and, while I've got oxblood ink all over my fingers, I was thinking how watches and pens always seem to go together. It took less than 10 seconds to find this thread. So, here's a matched pair of 1938 Parker Duofolds ....

    Do they fit in a pair of holsters on the ass-less PVC chaps?

    They're the "streamline" versions .... they'll slip in just about anywhere ;)

    I can't say I'm familiar enough with his pocket to like it any more or any less that anyone else's.

    There was a Fischer pen that went on the moon missions, not the slippery one.

    But more importantly, what is the speed master of can openers!

    Took this photo an hour ago without realizing this thread until I looked at the "latest" threads just now. Embassy pen from Best Made, Fisher Space Pen is the refill.

    Hello Kingsrider
    I have the same Waterman C/F from the 60ies, but in a different color. Mine is the black - cold capped version with a 18k nib. My father got it as a present in the 60ies and he passed it on to me recently.
    I really love writing with it and each time I use it I think of my parents with a smile on my face. But my problem is that I can't find any fitting cartridges, which is why I use a syringe to fill the old one...
    How do you handle this?

    My personal daily pen..... the Sterling Silver Alfred Dunhill Torpedo rollerball.....sheer enduring usable design

    And to very slightly hijack the thread.......the 'Speedmaster of Hand Guns'.....the Walter PPK, a brilliantly functional tool design, initially introduced 87 years ago....and other than calibre, barely altered

    The mint example in the image, is an original 1938 Zella Mehlis factory, in 7.65mm.....with ( to quote Major Boothroyd )...." a delivery like a brick through a plate-glass window. Takes a Brausch silencer, with little reduction in muzzle velocity" 109.jpg
