Aurora 98 Ballpoint Refills

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I just came into the possession of an Aurora 98 ballpoint pen. Unfortunately, it came with an empty mine and I have been having a hard time since then finding a refill for it. Do you guys here have any suggestions on how and where to find a refill? It can also be one from a third-party. There is AURORA - Dokumental - INOX and some unidentifiable numbers written on it. It is approximately 9.5 cm/3.74 inches long. I've attached some photos showing the pen and the refill. Thanks in advance!

When I needed a refill for an 88P ballpoint I both researched sites and wrote to LCdC, with whom I had been doing some recent business, to ask them. The conclusion from research was a Schmidt 1020 or 1011 and from LCdC a Schmidt 1011. I bought that.

 

It came with "Aurora" written on the side, and a long thin blue plastic piece at the end, quite unlike the old refill at that end. I lined up the old and new refills and snipped the plastic to make them the same length. I now have a working 88P ballpoint.

In case you're still looking, Schneider Express 225 refills also work. Picked up some on Amazon last month and they work fine in my 98 and Magellano BPs

So, I bought those refills and snapped a bit from the end part to make it as long as the original one. They fit perfectly but the click mechanism doesn't work on them.

Does it work with the old refill?

 

I did not encounter this problem, by the way.

Then for the moment I am puzzled. Is it evidently binding anywhere? The new refill is thicker. If lengths are the same and the spring firm then it should be functioning.

      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
