Rainbow Fisher Space Pen

The original Bullet Space Pen was conceived in July 1948.

As the name suggest NASA needed a pen that could work in space. They spend millions but were no where close. 

The Russians on the other hand just used a pencil. So why didn’t NASA do the same?

Well, mainly due to concerns of the broken fragments of pencil leds or wood chips that would damage space shuttle equipments or even cause a fire.

Paul C. Fisher resolved it.

The pen i would like to share is an all brass pen with a Titanium Nitride finish giving it the famous rainbow effect.

It was brought to my attention that this was one of the first manufacturers that came out with the rainbow effect back in 2015. If I am wrong, please do correct me.
