I ordered the Corsair in a Fine Point Nib, due to disappointing results from the EF Nib in the P-51 Mustang. The detail, quality & workmanship are all excellent on this Corsair. The rivets line-up when screwing on the cap.
The Fine Nib is an excellent and smooth writer. Wish the EF Nib on the P-51 Mustang wrote as nicely.

Anyone who has a fondness for typewriters will love this pen. The texture of the raised "keys" and the overall design makes for a pen that feels good in the hand. The rollerball refill give a very smooth writing experience.

I really like this pen. I grew up using a typewriter and it brings back fond memories of using it. It wasn't fun to use at the time though! It was a LOT of work but for me it was worth it. I got a lot of excellent jobs because I knew how to work that machine!!

Retro 51 is one of my favorite brands for ballpoint/gel pens. This Typewriter edition has a ret top with an arrow indicating the back key on a typewriter. I've been a touch typist for more than 60 years, so having this Typewriter pen is a way to bring back memories of all those Royal, Smith-Corona, IBM Selectric years!

Uniquely beautiful pen. Like all Retro 51 Rollerball pens, it is well made, works flawlessly. Refill ink flows smoothly and lays down a bold line with no skips, ever. The Typewriter pen has a set of beautifully crafted typewriter keys on the barrel, harkening back to the days when we actually had to push down the keys to write and used "white out" to correct errors on the page. I own many Retro 51 rollerballs, but this is definitely one of my favorites. I have not seen it advertised anywhere else other than Pen Chalet. So pleased I was able to receive an ad for it. Ordered it immediately ! Thanks, Pen Chalet !

Vintage Metalsmith Lincoln - Love this pen! Beautiful shading on the copper-colored metal. I ordered the stub nib and it behaves beautifully with the sparkle inks. Pen has a good weight in the hand and does not feel like a cheap metal. My first Retro pen and I'm impressed and very happy with this purchase!

I really like Retro 51 and stopped by Pen Chalet to pick a pen up for a colleague. I was so pleasantly surprised when the staff took the time to show me the Sherman Tank. I was in the army and regularly attached to the 37th Armored Regiment. I've been around a lot of tanks. I really like the pen and I was grateful for the customer service. Let me know when you have any new Big Shots.
All the best,
Bob M.
