I recently purchased a Retro 51 Deluxe Stealth Tornado Rollerball (the all-black one), which I'm enjoying. The refill says "Retro 51" on it, but is this actually made by Schmidt? My favorite roller refill is the Schmidt 8127 Long Capless Rollerball Refill in medium, blue, but that won't fit in this pen. Is there a substantially similar Schmidt that will fit the Volcano? Thanks, Gary

I'm considering purchasing a custom pen that uses the Schmidt KFH 450 piston system, because it is the only other filling mechanism offered by this custom maker other than c/c and eyedropper. However, when I've used Schmidt nibs in the past, they haven't been my favorite, as I like a softer nib and the schmidt nibs (that I've tried) are nails. So, before I go with c/c, I'd like to ask if there is any interchangeability with Schmidt nibs (in the Schmidt piston system, KFH 450) and other non-schmidt nibs. Thank you!

Fosfor is a pen company based out of Pune, in India. Manoj Deshmukh is the person behind Fosfor who actually handcrafts the pens on his manual lathe. http://www.fosforpens.com/about.html Manoj has gone from strength to strength. He started off as a hobbyist pen turner showing his work on FPN and today has developed expertise with which he can realise your pen ideas with finesse. You can see a lot of his early work here. I repair a lot of pens including piston pens. A modular piston filled pen which can be fully taken apart without needing any tools is a sure plus. Additionally if the whole piston filler is replaceable as a component like say an ink converter is, the advantages are obvious. In middle of 2017, I approached Manoj with some sketches involving the design of a pen based around the Schmidt KFH450 piston unit. The design features were tool less disassembly, no gluing of any pen part to the piston unit, differential piston knob. Meaning the piston knob will screw out as the piston is extended. The last part is very conventional today thanks to Pelikan and later MB but somewhat tricky to do with the KFH450. Since it involved some machining techniques I had a brief initial discussion with Manoj and he assigned me a slot no on his work queue. My slot finally became live this month. After a long wait of nearly 22months. I received the pen and I am happy to state that Manoj has exceeded all my expectations. He has taken the idea and created a pen which is uniquely his. I am very happy with the work. Well done Manoj and thank you. Here are some pics: The functional Fosfor packing. Practical and compact. The pen is made of NYH Red Black Cumberland ebonite with solid silver fittings. Ink view window and the Fosfor logo on the hand made silver clip. Showing the differential action. Piston seal is visible in the ink window when the piston knob is screwed out. The pen disassembled showing the KFH450 piston unit. In case of any serious maintenance requirement in future, the entire piston unit can be changed out very inexpensively. Notice the hand knurling done by Manoj on the knob. Size compared to a Pelikan M1000: Thanks to Manojs mastery over the lathe, he is able to cut Multi start threads and the cap takes just 1-3/4 turns to cap-uncap. The KFH450 uses the Schmidt FH452 nib units which are quite commonly available with a choice of nib widths. Manoj charged me a very reasonable amount despite the amount of work involved. I hope this brief write up is useful for others considering a custom job. Cheers, Hari

I guess many of you know about Ranga pens. I decided of buying a pen from them. They do offer a lot of nib options namely from JoWo, Bock, Schmidt. I generally like butter smooth nibs with the very least amount of feedback to it. If I were to go for a Fine or an EF nib, which one of the above nib manufacturer should I stick to?

Hello All, The sleeve on the Schmidt nib unit in my Retro 51 Double 8 is damaged. The nib and the feed itself is just fine. Its just the outer sleeve that has the threads and the metal sheath that is damaged (the plastic on it seems to break if not used for a prolonged period of time). Does anyone know where I could find just the sleeve? It's a Schmidt 452 nib unit. Thanks!

Hi. Thank you for reading my topic. I was wondering, has anyone ever tried to convert a parker style ballpoint pen into a pencil? I was interested in buying this Pelikan pen: http://www.penboutique.com/pelikan-k150-black-fs-inl-ballpoint-pen.html But I don't know for sure if it will fit. Has anyone bought a Pelikan ballpoint and converted it into a pencil with the Schmidt DSM 2006 Pencil System Mechanism? http://www.go-authentic.com/shop/ink-refills/parts-and-accessories/schmidt-dsm-2006-feinminen-pencil-systems If it ends up not working, apparently modifications need to be done to it. Does anyone know a source on how to convert it if modifications are necessary? Thank you for your time and have a nice day.

I was looking to buy eleven number five loose nibs. Does anybody have a list of all the people who sell such nibs? Also, is there any way to get #5 JOWO nibs without the feed? Thanks, Phillieskjk

I hope this is the right place. There is a seller on Amazon that is selling cheap Chinese converters as Schmidt universals. When the converter arrived, it didn't look like any Schmidt converter I own. It was green and looked suspiciously like every single converter in a Jinhao or Hero pen. I tried the converter in my KarasKustom: It did not fit. It slipped right out. I tried the converter in my Faber-Castell Loom: it slipped right out of that too. Despite being advertised as a Schmidt on Amazon, when it arrived, the seller's packing slip further identified it as Schmidt bluRAFIA. Research on the seller's website said it was a Chinese converter made by a German company. Huh?? It's a Chinese (probably Jinhao) converter masquerading as a Schmidt.

Hi All, Just wanted to introduce you to the latest version of STYLOS - Titanium: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2026090977/stylos-titanium-ink-fountain-and-rollerball-artlin What makes this version special is that I've created "universal nib holders" which can accomodate a variety of different nibs from different manufacturers. And, of course, I can add more nib holders to the project in the future. Catalogue: http://metaxas.com/stylostitanium_2016.pdf warm rgds, Kostas Metaxas www.metaxas.com
