Salute the Troops Bolt Action Starter Set — 3 Pen Kits

Build the complete Salute the Troops collection in one order with the Salute the Troops Bolt Action Starter Set. This set bundles one kit in each of three finishes — Antique Brass, Antique Pewter, and Antique Copper — every kit featuring the same etched saluting serviceman tip, "Salute the Troops" cap, and American Flag & Bald Eagle clip that make this one of the most meaningful commemorative pens a turner can make.

What sets this starter set apart is that it takes the guesswork out of tooling — a bushing set for the build is included, so you're ready to turn as soon as your blanks arrive. It's the simplest way to stock all three Salute the Troops finishes at once without placing three separate orders.

Features

• Etched saluting serviceman tip — detailed engraving of a serviceman and American Flag on the nib end

• "Salute the Troops" cap — bold embossed lettering carries the patriotic message through the hardware

• American Flag & Bald Eagle clip — full red, white, and blue flag with a cast Bald Eagle emblem

• Bolt-action mechanism — smooth, tactile rifle-bolt deployment, a favorite of firearms enthusiasts and pen collectors alike

• Rich antique finishes — genuine patina and natural darkening add historical character to every kit

• A memorable gift set for active duty personnel, veterans, first responders, and anyone who loves America
