Sheaffer Triumph Imperial Ballpoint In The Vintage Pattern

January 31, 2016

Hello Everyone!

This is my first post here and I was hoping for some kind assistance.

I'm looking for a refill for a ballpoint pen that the esteemed BillLS described as a Triumph Imperial ballpoint in the Vintage pattern with a "Reminder" clip (the one where the clip actuates the refill to pop out an in). It has a very unique and impossible to find refill. Not only does is have the "wings" on the plastic actuator portion of the refill (the little piece of plastic that fits on the end of the filling end) but the metal end where the plastic piece fits in is bulged out therefore making it impossible to fit the plastic end from the old refill into a new, straight (non-bulbous) refill. They made plastic tips with wings that were slender where they fit in the metal (those you can swap). But the one I have is flared out, so the plastic if "fatter" and won't fit any new refills.

Whew!!! The ramblings of a desperate person.

If there's anyone that can help, I'd would surely appreciate it.

If you're looking for a picture, here's a link (if you scroll down to the post of "strngdrvnthng") you will see two pictures of the refill. Please note how the metal barrel flares out which makes the plastic piece too thick to fit regular refills.

There was some talk about how a Monteverde refill would fit but I've seen those "wing tip" refills on a "non-bulbous" Sheaffer refill and they are smaller. This one isn't.

Anyway, I hope someone can help. Maybe I'm wrong about the Monteverde refills. Maybe they do work.

Best,

Aficionado
