This sleek gold bullet-shaped pendant hides a secret: it’s a fully functional propelling pencil, hallmarked in London for the year 1916. Right in the middle of the Great War. With crisp British assay marks and the engraved initials “VS” at the tip, it likely belonged to someone who needed to write on the go—perhaps a wartime officer, architect, or traveler.
