Parker Duofold Ballpoint

[atuanmu]

Hi all,

 

Just hoping that someone could please provide some help as to how to refill a Parker Duofold ballpoint pen.

 

I am able to remove the cap from the back but see no other mechanism as to how to remove the actual ballpoint refill.

 

I have tried without success to twist the body of the pen anti-clockwise.

 

Any help would be much appreciated, together with a photo if that is not too much hassle.

 

Many thanks!

I know what you mean. I tried it on mine and at first it did not work but if you keep turning the top counterclockwise until you hear a click engaging the tube that covers the refill and then take off the top, the tube covering the refill sticks in the top and the refill can be slipped out of the pen body.

It should look like this:

Dear Joane,

 

Thank you so kindly for taking the photos!

 

What I don't understand is that when I remove the gold rear cap of the pen, there is a space between the cap and the pen refill.

 

Is there a part missing in my pen? Or do I simply need to keep turning anti-clockwise?

 

Thanks again,

I just kept turning counterclockwise until the cap engaged with the little tube.
