    Help with ideas for pen engraving

    Hello guys,

    I have a creativity block today, a customer brought me a cool "bullet" pen as a gift for engraving some pens and boxes for him.

    Of course i want to engrave the it; however, i dont have any idea of what to do, so far im thinking of engraving a cross-hair on the top which is round what do you guys think??? Also i want to engrave something in the side, not my name of course just something cool

    The fibermark should have no problem marking any part of it, copper or brass. Just be aware the copper is a jacket over lead (FMJ), so don't plan on going too deep.
