This pen is made from an actual Spitfire propeller

The Hordern Richmond Aircraft Company was established in 1937 by Frederick Gordon-Lennox, the 9th Duke of Richmond (of Goodwood motor racing fame), and flying legend Edmund Hordern. 

Its name became synonymous with the iconic design and manufacture of Spitfire propellers during World War II, and now, as well as still being closely associated with the manufacture of aircraft propellers, the company has created a range of luxury gifts.
