Being pretty new to pen making, I started out replacing the ink fills in kits that took Parker-style refills with Parker brand gel ink refills. Until one day, I made a WC Liberty pen which came with a Schmidt Easy Flow 9000 refill and I loved it. IMHO FAR superior to Parker's gel ink. Through these very forums, I became aware of Private Reserve refills, which just plain sound fancy, and are made my Schmidt, who makes a refill I already like. So, I ordered a Private Reserve to try out in my Wall St III carry pen.
What I received was a Schmidt Retro 1951 Easy Flow 9000. I'm not unreasonable, but I was a little miffed about the mix up and let the seller know. His response was that all the Easy Flow 9000 pens are manufactured together, but since some companies market them differently, they change the names. Is this accurate?
Are all Schmidt refills labeled Easy Flow 9000 the same refill?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
