The German V-2 rocket, officially known as Vergeltungswaffe 2 (Vengeance Weapon 2) or Aggregat 4 (A-4), was the world's first long-range guided ballistic missile. Developed during World War II under the direction of Wernher von Braun at the Peenemünde Army Research Center, it first launched successfully in October 1942 and entered operational use in September 1944. Standing 46 feet tall with a diameter of 5.4 feet and weighing 27,000 pounds at launch, the V-2 was powered by a liquid-propellant engine using alcohol and liquid oxygen, achieving speeds over 3,500 mph (Mach 5) and a range of up to 200 miles. It carried a 2,200-pound Amatol warhead, striking targets like London and Antwerp with supersonic speed, making interception impossible. Over 3,000 V-2s were launched, causing significant civilian casualties and terror. Post-war, captured V-2 technology influenced U.S. and Soviet rocket programs, contributing to advancements in rocketry. Nicknamed "Buzzbomb" by some, though more accurately associated with the V-1, the V-2 was the first human-made object to reach space in suborbital flight.

These pen blanks are crafted from authentic fragments of a V-2 rocket, preserving its wartime history. Suitable for historians, collectors, or military enthusiasts, they provide a connection to this missile's past through a functional writing instrument.

Relic History: The fragments originate from a V-2 rocket launched on March 2, 1945. These pieces document German rocketry efforts during the final stages of World War II, offering a tangible link to one of the weapons used in that period.
