Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball Pen in April Showers Limited Edition

Usually ready in 24 hours
Rain, rain go away. Come again another day.
Even on a rainy day, embrace the time spent indoors with the seasonal Retro 51 Tornado "April Showers" limited edition rollerball. Following the success of fall 2022's Autumn Leaves, graphic designer Tracy Marsaioli illustrated the colorful pattern of umbrellas and rainclouds for this springtime pen.
A pastel blue "sky" serves as the backdrop for this rollerball pen. Umbrellas cascade down the tapered barrel as if carried by gusty winds. Light blue raindrops trickle down toward the pen's nosecone tip. The grey clouds are sections of the exposed stainless steel base of the pen barrel. To complete the design, Retro 51 matched the matte, clear coat barrel with matte blue trims.
The Retro April Showers Tornado is supplied with a capless rollerball cartridge loaded in the pen to start with. If you would prefer a ballpoint type, or a different color of refill, you can swap out the capless rollerball with a Parker-style ballpoint type refill (sold separately).

The Retro 51 Tornado rollerball writes with a cap-less REF5P liquid rollerball ink cartridge. Although there are several ink colors available (blue, red, purple, and green), the color included with any new Retro 51 rollerball is always black. The rollerball is also compatible with any Parker-style type ballpoint pen cartridge. Since this cartridge is made by several manufacturers, there are many options for ink color, point size, and ink consistency (ballpoint or gel ink). Retro 51 offers the REF71 (black) or REF77 (blue) easy-flow 9000 ballpoint ink cartridge as an alternative (sold separately) refill option for the Tornado rollerball pen.
Although the company is headquartered in Richardson, Texas (USA), the Retro 51 factory is based in Taiwan. All pen parts are manufactured in Taiwan with exception to the fountain pen nibs (made by Jowo in Germany) or the refills (made by Schmidt, also in Germany).
Retro 1951, Inc. offers a Limited One-Year Warranty on all Retro 51 writing instruments to the original consumer for a period of one year from the date of purchase with the purchased unit free of defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. Please note that this warranty is void if the pen has been damaged by accident, negligence, unauthorized service, or other factors not due to defects in materials or workmanship. It's important not to return the product to the retailer from whom it was purchased. Retro 51 will handle warranty claims directly.
Yes, most Retro 51 rollerball pens can be personalized with engraving on the barrel of the pen. There are some exceptions due to the design of the pen. For example, if a Retro 51 Tornado pen has an acid-etched pattern and does not have a blank spot where an engraving may be etched, then we will not engrave that pen. Our most popular, personalized Retro 51 rollerball pens are the classic lacquer styles, which are available in a variety of colors.
The refill inside. The Tornado pen design is the same whether you have a ballpoint or rollerball. It's the refill that makes the difference. The Tornado ballpoint pen uses the REF71 Easy Flow 9000 ballpoint ink cartridge while the rollerball writes with the more fluid REF5P cap-less rollerball ink cartridge. The ballpoint might last longer with the thicker, pastier ink. But, the rollerball version would flow smoother and require less hand pressure to make a dark mark on paper.
