Parker Refill

[mifsud]

Pardon me for not sticking to the main discussions as my question has to do with a Parker ballpen not a fountainpen.

 

Some years back I was given a very small parker ballpen (see pic), measuring 10cm only. It has a refill (see pic too) some 8cm in length and it is extremely thin. Now I need to buy some refills but I have not found this type anywhere, and this type does not even feature in the official parker website. I would be very grateful if anyone could help me 1) identify the pen 2) identify the type of refill this is and possible 3) advise me where to buy it from. I do not live in the USA or mainland Europe so I would need to order online.

 

Thanks for your help.

 

ps there is nothing written on the refill except Parker medium black.

The image is difficult to see clearly due to the flash rebound but it looks like the refill is tiny, much smaller that the standard Parker refill. It looks more like the Faber Castell refill which is 67mm.

 

Have a look at the Cult pens site,

or the refill finder site

Bingo! Thanks for the refill finder site. There is actually PARKER written on the tiny refill but judging from the strange measurement - which actually is 6.6cm - it must be the Mini D-1 refill you quoted from cultpens.com

 

I'm very grateful for this Kenlowe.

 

thanks!

You are welcome, Cult Pens are usually very helpful but if they have any issue on posting to Malta please let me know.

I think it's a mini version of the Sonnet ball point. Came out I think in 08 however didn't gain much popularity so was discontinued

Indeed you need ther Parker D1-refill (mini), nice agenda pens

[mifsud]

Thanks guys. Yes it is the Sonnet and got to know from cultpens that it was discontinued. But the D1 should do for the sonnet (I'm hoping) no matter which brand.

Hi, Your refill does look to be a D1 type, they are used often in diary or planner pens as they are shorter, and fit in a pen loop too.

They are the type used by Filofax in their planner pens, and by Cross in various multi-pens including the 'Tech 2/3/3+' range.
