Retro 51 Tornado Rollerball - Matilda Tank (Imperial War Museum)

Meet the Mighty Matilda – A WWII Icon

Introducing the newest addition to the officially licensed Imperial War Museums (IWM) Collection: the Matilda Infantry Tank. Crafted to honor one of World War II’s most legendary armored vehicles, this writing instrument is more than a pen—it’s a piece of history in your hand. Featuring a combination of acid-etching and printing, this Tornado™ rollerball comes to life—from the armor panel lines to the tactile texture of its riveted steel plating. Run your fingers along the barrel and feel the craftsmanship echoing the grit and ingenuity of wartime engineering.

Finished in a striking camouflage pattern of khaki, light blue, and olive green, each pen captures the distinctive look of the tank that earned its place on battlefields from France to North Africa. They are complete with antique silver accents, numbered top ring and packaged in a commemorative tube.

The Matilda Infantry Tank pen stands as a bold tribute to bravery, resilience, and design that endures. Add the Matilda Tank to your collection or gift it to a history buff. The Matilda Tank is on display at IWM North in Manchester, England.

Crafted with honor. Designed with purpose.
