Fisher Space Astronaut Space Pen engraved with July 20, 1969" Logo

Fisher pens are the best pens that I have ever used. They do work overhead and they do write under water. I tried it. They also do write on difficult paper and on greasy spots. I will only use Fisher pens or refills. My latest acquisition is an Apollo 11 commemorative “Space Pen“. It is a lot lighter than I expected. They action is very smooth and even though I wasn’t sure about the feel at first, I have got used to it quickly and it now the only pen I use. Refills are not much more than Parker refills but they do last a lot longer.

La di de regalo, y todo excelente, la caja, el terminado de la pluma, el cromado y el sistema de activado, sin duda, un clásico que vale la pena.

Fisher AG7 with diamond machine engraving of commemorative Apollo 11 mission (not gold - it's the brass body of the pen showing through the etched chrome outer layer).Mechanism is solid and secure in use, although spring could be stronger to prevent accidental activation in pocket. Unit is rather top heavy design (I prefer the Shuttle CH series as these are better balanced but much slimmer), and that can affect long term writing use. Refill is typical Fisher med/black, and I have found these to be a little hit or miss in past. Mine worked great with no sticking or skips in use, but some I have had have been so viscous that they barely want to write at all). Nothing overly classy in the design - purely functional, but NASA approved does carry bragging rights. 5th I have owned (some have wandered off over the years). Chrome plating does eventually begin to wear (an older one I have from about 12 years ago shows significant show-through of the brass body around clip and button area).In truth, do I need a pen that can write over oil, underwater, in freezing conditions or upside down.... well sometimes. I'm outdoors a lot, so writing flat and level isn't always possible (we've all leaned against a wall and had our pen run dry after a few seconds). I travel a lot for my job, and despite lower cabin pressure on aircraft, I've not experienced ink seepage/ blobbing. Writing on a variety of surfaces can be useful (though not practical in reality), and modern ball pens rarely fail to function unless you are massively below zero (arctic conditions). For people with an extreme lifestyle, or who work in extreme environments, I'd highly recommend the Fisher Refills for what ever pen you use, and this is a lovely pen for daily carry, just too expensive on most sites for what it is.Paid under £30 here in UK (March 2016), but typical price is around £50. Have bought many over the years, would continue to buy again when needed. Any Fisher pen is great to have, this one all the nicer for the engraving.

Just a great writing tool. Once you use a Fisher there isn't really a possibility of going back. Smooth, consistent, and endless. Perfect for writing in any conditions. The engraving is also beautiful, and the pen is well balanced, some people may find them short, light, and thin, but they are well made and last forever. These are my writing tools of choice and have been for almost 30 years

Well received by recipient of this gift, engraving is super high quality, really lovely pen for people who enjoy Fisher Space Pens or who have an interest in the Apollo missions. Comes with a black medium refill in a lovely presentation box.
