Parker 5Th Pen.

Hellow there! I have a simple question about Parker 5th ( Rollerball type) pen.

I bought this pen by chance during 2012, originally paying £115 and did not even know it takes Cartridge refill. Silly me ..

 

I was completely out of the mind when I bought it. and later regret I bought it. Recently when I took it out, I found the pen refill was completely dried out in the box and useless. Checked the price to replacement ink cartridge and they are way high in price about £7 each. What I did next is, I opened the cartridge sealing cap and Eye-dropper filled with some ink. Now it works as it is loaded with a new Cartridge.

This a nice pen heavy and high-quality pen, good looking and I am happy with that as I can use it with good a cost-effective way.

 

So my question is anyone uses this pen and what is your idea and the experience about it.

Same experience! Reminds me of the old felt-tip Flare pens, but I am hopeful that the point doesn't get smushy like the Flares did in time.

What I am planning is to get a different color cartridge and keep it as a backup when this tip goes out.
