303 British Bullet Pens
Was asked by a customer to make some pens from once fired 303 British caliber shells, apparently he shot a trophy with some of those. This was some time ago and they were heavily tarnished and pitted, he also asked me not to "pretty them up" too much.
One is all brass with two 303 shells and a copper slimline clip, the other is with one of my camo blanks and a copper Euro clip and cap, as well as the primer end of another shell.
Hope he will be happy.

Hey Fred,
Nicely done, a little bit of history there, makes for an interesting job. I'm sure that the Client will be pleased.

Great pens Fred.
I was a member of a rifle club as a teenage and we used the old 303 bullets. Over the years we must have used thousands of them.
