So, I got this pen a few years back from a good friend, who at the time worked at a store that only sells 2nd hand stuff (furniture, clothing, books, games, electronics, accessories, etc.). They receive lots of used office supplies, and had a huge tub of working pens. Every now and then he would go through that tub to get a pen to write with for his work, and that's when he encountered this silly oddity:

Does anyone know where this pen came from - is it something that came with the game at the time, sales rep material or something?

The logo looks like a one color version of the title screen pixel art. May not be official.

Actually the print is quite smooth. It might appear jagged on the picture because I cropped the picture's original size:

Still it might indeed not be official... that's what I don't know.
Also, it still writes. So I have no idea where this thing came from.. not that it really matters, but I was wondering if someone had a clue.

Does it have a copyright to SNK anywhere in it? One would expect something if they were responsible for this pen. My best guess is that one of these places that will customize ballpoint pens had a fan.

it's 2017, and the pen still has ink. it's not a 20 year old pen. it's something someone bought from online.
example: i sent ratson a Forgotten Worlds post card, guess what it wasn't from capcom's grand unveiling of that classic game.

i also have a sweet Final Fight t-shirt that looks sweet and yet is unofficial

not completely crazy some other autist wanted KOF 98 on his pen.

it's not worth anything btw.

It appears to be the right length and diameter to fit snuggly inside my asshole.

I offer $500 shipped.
