I'm not looking for one of the ones I can buy online - this is a bit different.
I was in a colleague's office, and I noticed on his shelf he has the folded flag in a presentation case from his father's casket on display. Inside the case was a rifle shell casing, and I asked what is was for. He said it was one of the fired shell casings from his dad's 21-gun salute. He also has the others, and doesn't know what to do with them. He wants to find a way to share with his siblings, but he wants it to be something special.
I suggested getting pens made out of them, and showed him some examples online. He's not a shootist himself, so I offered to do a little investigation for him.
I can look online and start calling companies at random, but I figured I'd reach out here first.
So...is there anyone on this forum with that expertise? Anyone who can craft something nice for him? Or have any of you used a specific company in the past that you can recommend (so I don't have to start at square one in my search)?
Attached are photos of the one casing he has now.
