The Mayflower passengers brought both armor and arms, including muskets, pistols and swords, with them to America. While the armor and swords were only used in warfare, the muskets were also used in hunting. These smooth-bored weapons were about 5 feet long and weighed about 20lbs. Our ballpoint pen reminds us of the age-old wisdom "the pen is mightier than the sword" (or in this case, mightier than the musket) . An unusual writing implement for all ages! Imported.
