Fisher Space Bullet ballpoint pen - Classic 400 matt black

Fisher Bullet ballpoints have an extremely compact design and fit perfectly in your trouser or jacket pocket or in your wallet. When closed, the pen measures only 9.4 cm and is equipped with a clip that can be removed if necessary. All Fisher Bullet pens are gift-wrapped and contain a black refill (medium writing). Paul Fisher developed the first Fisher Space Pen in 1965. Previously, astronauts used regular pencils, but that was dangerous because they could break easily. After two years of testing by NASA, the Fisher Space Pen was used in 1968 on board the Apollo 7. After all, in space you don't have gravity to move the ink. The Fischer Space refills have an ink reservoir that is pressurized by a gas cartridge.
