Who Makes Dunhill Pens?

[PandP]

Looking to buy a Dunhill Sentryman Resin Rollerball pen (with 50% discount) and was wondering if anyone knows who makes their pens? There doesnt seem to be much info out there. Anyone can shed some light?

I have an AD2000 and it says it is made in Switzerland. Based on that, I'm guessing Carandache.

 

BUT I also know that some of their fountain pens were made by Namiki so it might be that they use different manufacturers.

It sounds like that might be the case from what I have researched so far as well. I pulled the plug on a nice Sentryman Black resin Palladium coated rollerball. It is absolutely lovely and very nice quality. Although on some types of cheap paper the rollerball does tend to "skip a heartbeat".

 

I wonder if it is possible to use ballpoint refills on it instead?

You should be able to use a Parker style BP refill with a spacer or maybe Uni Jetsetream; also Japanese gel refill: Pilot G2, Pentel Energel, Uni Signo, Zebra Sarasa.

The Dunhill Ad2000 fountainpens were made by Pilot/Namiki. Apparently they outsourced their BP/RB to different manufacturers.

 

Later on Dunhill came in the same stable that also houses Montblanc. Richemont.

 

I have a Sentryman FP that uses a MB converter. Safe to say MB made that FP. Chances are they also made that RB.

I have a gunmetal and gold trim Dunhill ballpoint from the mid 1990s. It uses a Montblanc refill and the barrel threads will match a Noblesse of the same era. You can swap the caps and they fit.
