Continuing with the theme of nobility this UK exclusive produced by Retro 51 takes us back in time to the “War of the Roses"! This Tornado™ Fountain Pen has been inspired by the historic "War of the Roses" from over 600 years ago, taking us back to a time of nobility and rivalry. Lasting over 30 years, the war was fought between two branches of the royal House of Plantagenet: the House of Lancaster (represented by a Red Rose) and the House of York (represented by a White Rose).

The fountain pen design showcases the House of York's white rose emblem with antique brass trim and a beautiful floral pattern. Gather dear friends and show your loyalty to the House of York with this Tornado.

Michael M. ★★★★★

The white rose engraving on the barrel is sharper than I expected from the product photos. It writes smoothly with the included cartridge and feels nicely weighted in my hand. A great pick for anyone into the history behind it.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The Tudor rose detailing along the cap is subtle enough to carry to the office without looking costume-y. It's a fountain pen so expect a bit of a break-in period, but the nib glides nicely after a day or two of writing.

Charlotte K. ★★★★★

The white rose pattern on the barrel is way more detailed in person than I expected, and the weight feels substantial without being tiring to write with. The fine nib lays down a smooth line right out of the box, no skipping at all. Easily the nicest fountain pen I've added to my desk this year.
