Premium Designer

[RandalG]

I like to make the Premium Designer kits from Pen State mostly because of the parker refill. These only come in 24 ct gold. Does anyone know of something similar that has better platings like TN or platinum? My searches have turned up nothing. I do want the 8mm kit with the parker refil.

Thanks,
Randy

Berea offers a roundtop w/ Parker refill that is an excellent pen to use - it has a nice heft and nice balance. Drill size is an "O" bit.

Here's a couple of links to Berea.

Many thanks! It looks like the Berea kits are just the thing. I personally don't like carrying anything larger than a Euro, and I don't care for the Cross type refills. This looks like a quality kit that isn't too large.
