Grifos Pens

[rwilsonedn]

If I remember correctly, some Italian pens use international converters/cartridges, and some use Parker. Perhaps Grifos has used both at different times.

The size of the opening is indeed different.You might try buying some international cartridges to see if they fit. If they don't you might try a Parker cartridge. That would give you an idea of the correct converter to use. (Sorry, I don't remember which has the larger opening.)

Hello - I have a query for you Grifos pen owners. I have two of their wonderful pens, and recently the screw portion that screws the point and converter away from the barrel broke off. The Grifos people sold me a new point and nib, which would be wonderful, except that the converter that was on the old and broken point will not fit. The hole is much too large and it will not snap one - the little stem to which it should snap is visibly smaller than on the old broken point, as well as on the existing functioning pen. I cannot find any pen shop who will address this issue; they are all unfamiliar with Grifos, and can tell me only to send it in for "repairs" and they will look at it.

The gentleman at Grifos tells me that no doubt the converter is old and worn, thus the non-fit. Perhaps the language barrier is preventing him from completely understanding what I mean.

So, after all of that, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to a converter that I might try. I refuse to give up on this favourite pen of mine.

 

Try a new International Standard converter, push on type.

I wish you all the luck in the world, as these are very nice pens and I have found the company to be very consistent in their high quality products. Let us hope that all goes well and you introduce more retailers of what Grifos Pen Company produce.

 

I tried to look at their website at www.grifos-pens.it but the link does not work. I have searched quite extensively but could not get to their website. I wrote to their email through Amazon market Place and a woman named Nadia contacted me. I want to buy several pens from them. I would like to check how you contacted them earlier.

 

Many thanks
