Will a Parker rollerball refiil fit in a jr.Gent 2?

[philb]

Hi,

Just wondering as the Jr.Gent 2 comes with a schmidt refill will a standard Parker rollerball refill fit, not the ballpoint one as in a Sierra/Cigar style but the proper rollerball item?

Just as its easier to get spares for parkers if needed quickly!

Cheers PHIL

The Parker rollers have a conical nose, IIRC, and will not fit our pens. However, those from Sheaffer and Sailor will fit.

Yep, it won't work. But, the space pen refill can fit in a parker pen slot if you pull off the end of an old parker refill and glue it on the end of the space refill. Silly..yes, but I had to do it just today because a customer requested I must make a space refill fit, and it was an expensive pen to pass on the sale!

This tells me, if there's a will, there's a way.
