Retro 51 Tornado Fountain Pen P-47 Thunderbolt
As Retro 51 puts it, 'Life is too short to carry an ugly pen'. And we agree. Their bright colours and cool designs have more than a hint of nostalgia about them, and all their pens are made with good old-fashioned values in mind.
Designed as a tribute to the P-47 US fighter plane, Retro 51's Tornado Thunderbolt fountain pen features a lacquer-coated red, yellow and green steel barrel with acid-etched rivets and panelling. It's emblazoned with the nose art of the 352nd Fighter Group's P-47 nicknamed "Dallas Blonde." There is a slotted metal pocket clip and it's fitted with a steel nib in a choice of sizes. It's supplied in a vintage-themed cylinder which doubles as a pen stand as well as a protective case.
Refill with standard ink cartridges (2 are supplied) or fit the supplied converter to use bottled fountain pen ink.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same day.
