This unique mechanical pencil by Old Southern Brass is made from a once-fired .308 shell casing, making it a one-of-a-kind writing instrument. The polished brass casing is plated to ensure a shiny and new appearance throughout its life. The pencil comes in a tactical gift box, designed like a real rifle case with two working clasps and a hinged handle for secure closure. The exterior is sleek and tactical, while the interior is dense foam. The pencil is perfect for those who have everything and is an excellent way to show patriotism for your country and support the 2nd amendment. The pencil weighs 5.1 oz and is made from brass with a polished finish.
