Apollo 11 Moon Landing Pen

Forty years ago today, the NASA crew of Neil Armstrong, Eugene “Buzz” Aldrin and Michael Collins set out on board Apollo 11 to complete the first manned mission to the lunar surface, a goal set by J.F. Kennedy.

To commemorate this milestone, Fisher has designed a special edition AG7-40LE pen that is an exact replica used during the Apollo 11 mission and every space flight since then.

The limited edition anti-gravity pen includes a piece of Kapton foil which was used as protective thermal insulation on the Apollo 11. This collector’s pen comes with a black titanium nitride finish and 24 karat gold engraving of the crew names, the sequential serial number and the iconic symbol of the planting of the American flag on the moon.

A handcrafted presentation case with a black lacquer finish as well as a certificate of authenticity are also included. Only 1000 pens will be produced with MSRP set at $800.
