The Slaughter Pen is made from Mesquite wood, cut from the original acreage of Slaughter's San Bernadino Ranch, now BLM land. Each pen has not only unique grain but also colored line markings left in the wood by boring insects. Each pen will be initialed, numbered, and have the U lazy S mark that John Slaughter used to brand his cattle. A leather case will have the name slaughter U lazy S branded into the leather.
I have decided to make only 1500 signed and numbered pens from this wood. I plan to make 500 pens each in gold and in platinum as a ballpoint pen style and 500 gold fountain pens. Thus making this pen a treasured heirloom for you and your family, and a direct connection to a part of the history of the Old West.
