Abstract: A pen is provided that utilizes actuating components of a conventional push-button type ballpoint, but which are actuated in a novel and unique manner by the use of an externally mounted lever. The externally mounted and movable lever provides a unique attractiveness to the pen and simulates the lever action used with Early American Western rifles, which in addition to providing a function to the pens, provides an attractive and unique-looking pen which can be combined with other features. A conical nose can be formed of brass which would simulate the end of a bullet and a tubular member can be formed of wood simulating a rifle stock. Also various engraving such as used on many Early American Western rifles can be incorporated into the outer surface of tubular member.
