SPACE PEN

A Piece of History

On July 6, 1969, Apollo 11 launched from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Fourteen days later, Commander Neal Armstrong made history, becoming the first human to walk on the surface of the moon.

Fisher, the official pen maker for NASA's space voyages, has created a unique opportunity to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of that historic event by producing a limited number of exact replicas of the AG-7 Space Pen carried on the Apollo 11. The black titanium nitride finish is enhanced with a 24-karat gold engraving of Commander Armstrong planting the American flag on the lunar surface.

Beyond even that, the pen's most astonishing detail is that, sealed in an acrylic dome in the pen's cap, is an actual, authenticated piece of the Apollo 11 spacecraft. A material known as Kapton - it served as thermal insulation for the command module Columbia.

Each keepsake pen comes with a specially designed display case, which includes full documentation of authenticity, as well as a polyurethane casting of Armstrong's first step, a timeline of the mission's key events engraved on a band of rhodium plated stainless steel, and a magnetic pedestal for holding the pen holder to the display.

Few people will ever have the opportunity to own one of these limited edition commemorative pens before they, too, become history. Made in Boulder City, Nevada.
