But a co-worker of mine has switched back to using a fountain pen&#8230; very fancy. Too fancy for me. But when I saw this, I said&#8230; that is RIGHT UP MY ALLY. I waited about a month&#8230; and still wanted it. Plus, I&#8217;ve always wanted a space pen for all those times of doing crosswords in bed or laying in the grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So ordered one of these from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.countycomm.com\/PEN.htm\">CountyComm<\/a>&#8230; I think the only dealer as they created these for a government order. It&#8217;s a nice hefty pen&#8230; my favorite knurling around the tube. The pen itself is an official Fisher Space Pen in Med Black. So far, it writes beautifully. Nothing else really to say&#8230; it&#8217;s a pen. An expensive one but will run you the same as any of the decent pens you got at graduation. Only bad thing is that the cap doesn&#8217;t fit on the back&#8230; so when writing, there&#8217;ll be two pieces. At least it won&#8217;t scratch the finish. And I think this one looks so much cooler. Hopefully&#8230; won&#8217;t lose it or lend it to someone who doesn&#8217;t give it back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Came in a cool tube too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen01.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen01.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen02.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen02.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen03.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen03.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen04.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen04.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen05.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen05.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen06.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen06.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen07.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/misc\/embassypen\/EmbassyPen07.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Now this is a total indulgence (like none of the other things here are either)&#8230; and I am not at all a pen person.
