Rotring 600 Rollerballs (Black and Lava)


rowdy123

Recommended Posts

I have for sale several NOS Rotring 600 Black and Lava finish rollerballs, purchased from a German source (I think probably bankrupt stock). These are unusual in having a wider tip than the standard rollerballs (see bottom photo) and possibly were designed to take a different refill. I haven't come across these before so I'd be grateful for any further information from any Rotring collector out there. The bodies and caps are the standard 'new style' 600 and are interchangeable with the fountain pens.

With a couple of springs these will take current Rotring Rollerball refills or Pilot G2 type refills (possibly also Uniball Signo refills).

Prices include a choice of either a new Rotring (Fine black) or Pilot G2 (Fine, 0.7mm black) refill.

 

Matte black finish - US$30 (£20)

Lava finish - $50 (£33)

 

Postage by airmail to the US or outside the UK will be $11 (insured) or $5 (uninsured but with proof of postage).

UK - £2 (first class) or £2.75 (first class recorded).

 

I can accept payment through Paypal or by cheque (only if drawn on a UK bank).

any difference between the two styles aside from the color? weight and texture wise, etc? and do they come with the original box?

Hi,

No difference at all in the color weight and texture from the standard 600 rollerball with respect to the cap and body section (I've checked they can be interchanged). The only difference is in the tip. These came in plastic sleeves - no boxes I'm afraid.

 

There are other rollerball refills with similar format to the Pilot G2, such as Schmidt 5888 and Monteverde which would also fit. Parker rollerball refills don't fit.

Another two photographs showing a direct comparison of the 'standard' Rotring 600 rollerballs (on the left in both photos) with the ones I have for sale.

real quality stuff here. i just received mine today. well worth it for $30. downside is finding the proper refill for these though, the g2, signo 207, rotring, waterman, and foray refills all wobble a tiny bit (almost unnoticeable) when you write. if you have ocd, this might not be for you. otherwise, fine pen.

hello,

What is included in the price?

Obviously the main barrel with end, the cap, but does the price include the springs?

ie the only thing missing is a refill to make it work.

Regards

Lawrence

Hi,

Everything needed to make the rollerball functional is included - barrel, cap, 2 springs and refill, as shown in the first photograph on the listing.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
