Description from the seller
Official Representation Gift from the Federal Ministry of Defence – USB pen with Federal Eagle – Provenance GenLt Bruno Kasdorf (2014)
Rare official representation and guest gift from the Federal Republic of Germany, associated with the Federal Ministry of Defence (BMVg).
The high-quality presentation set consists of an elegant black ballpoint pen with an integrated 4GB USB stick and the original presentation case. Both the pen and the case bear the Federal Eagle, the emblem of the Federal Republic of Germany.
The set was manufactured by ZEITIDEE – Exclusivity Made to Measure, a supplier of high-quality representation and presentation items for federal ministries, state governments, and public institutions. This ballpoint pen was not produced as a standard promotional item, but as an official guest and representation gift for high-ranking visitors, delegations, and state guests.
The pen was handed over in 2014 during an official visit by General Lieutenant Bruno Kasdorf. Kasdorff served as Inspector of the Army of the Bundeswehr from 2012 to 2015, and was therefore the highest-ranking soldier of the German Army. The visit focused on discussions about further development of the two armed forces as well as bilateral training and cooperation between the Swiss Army and the German Bundeswehr.
The high-quality presentation box with a silver Federal Eagle emphasizes the official character of the set. Such items were typically used at military encounters, delegation visits, international contacts, and diplomatic occasions.
The integrated USB stick has been tested and works flawlessly. The red power/operation LED lights up properly when connected to a computer. A corresponding photo of the function test is part of this offer.
CONDITION
The ballpoint pen is in unused condition and has only been stored. The original presentation case shows only minimal storage-related signs of wear. The integrated 4GB USB stick has been successfully tested and functions perfectly.

SIGNIFICANCE
Official representation gifts from German federal ministries are rarely found on the collector’s market. This presentation set exemplifies the military cooperation and official exchange between Germany and Switzerland in the early 21st century.
The combination of the Federal Eagle, the original case, documented provenance, a functioning USB stick, and the connection to an official visit by the then Inspector of the Army lends this item a special collector’s and zeitgeist-capturing character.
