There are pens, and then there are writing instruments. This instrument is the world's most expensive ballpoint pen with 840 diamonds and 20 carats in gemstones. It's made by Mont Blanc and Van Cleef & Arpels. Each pen takes one and a half years to make, and only nine will me made. Each pen will cost $730,000.

The pen made by Nasa was and is the most expensive pen ever made...
Tax Dollars at work.... :P
Just thought that you might find the following quote from The Space Review interesting.
The Million Dollar Space Pen Myth is just that, a myth. The pens never cost a lot of money and were not developed by wasteful bureaucrats or overactive NASA engineers. The real story of the Space Pen is less interesting than the myth, but in many ways more inspiring. It is not a story of NASA bureaucrats versus simplistic Russians, but a story of a clever capitalist who built a superior product and conducted some innovative marketing. That story, however, is a little harder to sell to a public that believes what it wants to believe.
