I have been searching for a while for a platinum line ball pen to carring around with my Le Grande FP should the writing need arise for a BP, can a RB be turned into a BP,
if so is it a matter of changing the refill as I have a RB already, I have loads of FP's but no experience of RB or BP, your assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Another question I'd like to pose along with this one is - Does anyone know of a gel refill that will fit a BP or Roller Ball Meisterstuck? When I use my FP I don't press hard to make two copies.

You can also try the Monteverde gel refill for MB. It comes in fine and medium points.

Any help re the original post.

Nope...a rollerball refill has a screw tip and the ball point pen has a spring in the tip...refills cannot be interchanged. You should get another writing instrument and you will always be ready either way...I use a rollerball when signing documents and checks and then a ballpoint in my "everyday life"...

ST Dupont makes several models that can be converted from roller ball to ball point to fiber tip.

Just wondering- where would a BP work that a RB would not?

Thanks,

This and Yafa (Monteverde is a sub-brand of Yafa) are the only options. I would stay away from them though. Although my first scribbling with Monteverde gel refill for MB ballpoint was very nice, the refill just did not work when I needed to write with it. I returned it and bought a B ballpoint refill by MB.

I use Parker gel refill, and I love it. Unless MB itself starts manufacturing a gel refill for their ballpoints, my MB ballpoint will not get a lot of use :(
