Love this pen! Bought this pen for myself and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I haven't been disappointed by a Retro 51 Tornado yet. Would definitely recommend this pen to a friend. Might even buy it again in Red.

I usually don’t buy anything without the name Montevered on it. However this pen caught my eye and I bought both the blue and the red. I gave one to my grandson and he loves it. I was worried it my be smaller and lighter than I like I was not disappointed it is at least a good medium in size and weight and feels good in the hand. it came loaded with Area 51 black roller ball refill which I must say was very nice however I swapped it out for Monteverde soft roll extra fine black ballpoint and its now my go to ballpoint pen on my desk.

'Just purchased yet another "Retro '51" Rollerball, to add to the 4 we have already. This one commemorates Amelia Earhart, the Kansas-born aviator, who became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic, and later completed the first nonstop solo flight by a woman across the U.S., in 1932.
The eye-catching design of this particular Rollerball reflects the bright red colour of Earhart's Lockheed 5B Vega, which has been on display at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum, Washington DC, since the 1960s.
'Lovely pen, recalling some brilliant aviation achievements - a portion of the sale price goes to support the wonderful Smithsonian museums.

This is the most beautiful rendering of the Retro 51 Tornado Pen! The inlaid shells reflect light stunningly. It writes flawlessly with a very smooth black ink gel refill. I love my new Cioppino!!

Initial thought of this pen was too heavy.. and that is a right statement if capped. However, uncapped it fits nicely in the hands. I used Noodler's rome burning ink and it writes very smoothly.. I would recommend this pen for people who like a decent weighted pen.

Awesome pen design and quality. Totally unique design with an original pen package that sits well on your desk and doubles as a pen holder. Looks like a pen that has come back from the future in a time machine.
