I bought this for 99p and it came with 2 Waterman boxes and 7 Waterman Panta refills.

 

The seller assumed it to be a refill in its entirety but I believe it is a ball point pen for handbag or diary.

 

I saw another recently which described it as the latter.

 

Can anyone shed light on this pen.

 

By turning the spline slightly more than normal 'out' use, the refill protrudes further allowing it to be pulled out.

The instructions in "Engrish" notwithstanding, I believe it to be a ballpoint pen,

without a clip. It appears to be slender, like a Cross ballpoint pen. There might

be an internal "clutch" , that holds the back end of the refill by friction. By turning

the mechanism, the user can advance or retract the clutch internally, advancing

or retracting the held refill. Pull the refill out by the ball-tip, and insert a replacement,

of the same size, until you feel it grabbed.

 

It is worth 99p just for the novelty and entertaining exploration.

Sorry I should have stated its size, 108mm long, 5mm diameter.

 

Yes I managed to pull it out with my teeth.

 

The refill in the pen works but the first of the 7 spares has dried out. I think they will all have suffered the same fate as non have air tight caps. I will try ultrasonicing one.

 

The Engrish is translated from French which is on the other side.
