U.S. Government Pen - Medium Point - Black Ink, 12 Count (Pack of 1)

These write smoothly, last a long time, and are well made. For the price these are among the best pens I have ever used. By modern standards they are a bit thinner than a common pen, but that does make them easier to carry in a notebook or a pocket. I even sent one through the washer and dryer (on low), and while I may have been merely fortunate here, it did not explode ink. In fact, it continues to write. They're cheap enough that you don't have to feel bad about losing one, but durable enough to warrant buying their inexpensive refills. I would liken them in many ways to a Fisher Space Pen, though more affordable and more disposable.

Looks just the ones I used in the Army. This is my second batch. I give them out

Are they great pens? No. Do they remind the user of time in their life that seems simultaneously 100 years ago and yesterday? Yes.FYI- The center metal bit is a solid piece vs. the three lines shown in the pic if that matters to you but what I got in the box were exactly the type Uncle Sam provided back in the day.

I bought it because im geeking out about the history of the pen. It feels very good in the hand. The fact that its smaller than most pens make it extremely comfortable for some reason. I can feel the good quality of the materials used. And the click is satisfying. Other than that i love how it looks and how the writing itself feels. Ill give some if them to friends from abroad as a geeky souvenir.

I LOVE these pens! I have worked for the government for almost 20 years and have used these pens almost my entire career. However, I was having difficulties finding them recently, so I was very excited to see the real pens- not knock-offs, being sold on Amazon! They are the perfect size to fit in your pocket/purse, and are very durable. I bought one box and have already run out because my coworkers keep taking them off my desk. I plan to buy more boxes next month.

Build quality is not what I expected from a government issue product. Several of the pens exhibited warping and one was cracked near the ballpoint end. On the plus side, they write very well and are smaller than average which is nice if you like to keep a pen in your pocket. If they were half the cost I could excuse the quality control issues, at 20 dollars for 12, I'll remove a star.

They are great. Write well. Good for the pocket. Worth the money.

Exactly what I wantedUs government contract pens exactly as listed.
