Ballograf identification


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I've found this black, metallic, twist mechanism Ballograf in a retro shop.

It has Ballograf inscription on its clip.

Also, its refill seems to be a milimeter thinner than the ones in my Ballograf Epoca P-s. Latter refills couldn't fit into the inner tube part of the upper part (see the last two photos).

 

I wonder what Ballograf this is. 

 

Thank you in advance.

It looks like a Ballograf Serie 2000 to me. You can find many on auction sites, with little differences in the decorative parts - like, yours has golden lines, other have not. Many of them have brandings. Too bad that the new refills don't fit in those older, thinner Ballografs.

Thank you. Yeah, I also have branded Epoca Ps.

Yes, I did try an Epoca P's refill and it was too thick for it.

A pen collector lady claimed she already asked around if the thinner refill was avaliable and she was told it wasn't. The old one is still inside but doesn't write.

Maybe you can contact Ballograf customer service and ask if there is a solution for this problem. The emailadress is support@ballograf.se

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
