Recalling commemorative pens given to Allied commanders after World War II, the Retro duplicates an original 1953 design. In an era when the just-invented ballpoint was taking the market by storm, Caran D'Ache produced a line of pens with hexagonal barrels and a timeless, triangular cross-hatch design that looks as good today as it did then.
