A great amount of time and care was put into making this ballpoint twist pen. "God Bless America" around the center band. "USA" on the top of the pen along with a bald eagle and American Flag for the pen clip. The Stars and Stripes are acrylic, polished to a very smooth 12,000 grit. It comes with a black ink refill that is a replaceable Parker style refill that most office supply stores carry.
