Which Pen Is This?


OldGreyBeard

Recommended Posts

I know its not a fountain pen but I've seen a picture somewhere of a Sheaffer FP which looks very similar so I assume it was part of a range including a FP.

 

I think this is a roller ball but as the refill bit is missing I can't work out which refill I need. I've tried a standard Sheaffer roller ball and the slim one plus a ballpoint (K refill) one but they are usually too long or the ball bit doesn't fit through the section.

 

I don't want to throw it away but I need to identify which refill I need.

I remembered where I'd seen what looks like a FP version of the same pen. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291243117674?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

This is advertised as a Sheaffer Imperial FP. Was thee a roller ball/ball point/fibre tip version of this?

 

There were ball point and pencil versions but no roller ball IIRC. And the ball points was a conventional retract the tip design.

You may be able to convert this to a FP with the proper section. Teri may have something in stock that works. Likely, the piston convertor will not fit but the squeeze style should.

Looks like we're narrowing it down!

I'd be happy to use it as a roller ball but I can't find the correct refill. I've tried a standard Sheaffer roller ball and the slim one plus a ballpoint (K refill) one but they are usually too long or the ball bit doesn't fit through the section. Any idea which refill I should use?

      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..

      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
