Chrome Ballpoint to match Baron/Jr. Gent 1?

[shortz1lla]

Hello all. First let me state, I am not looking for the Jr. Gent II ballpoint, the gold looks like a pretty good match, but the rhodium has gold accents. I'm looking for advice on which kit(s) most closely resemble(s) the Jr. Gent 1 and Baron... chrome with black accents, similar clip style, parker refill. I've searched through threads dating back to the dawn of time and not seen anything that quite does it for me. I saw mention of the classic and designer by, I believe, Smitty, as well as the cigars by others. I am hoping these aren't the closest kits in existence. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
V/R,
Joe
Edit:
I'm looking for a twist mechanism, not a swapped refill on a RB.

What about the PSI Gatsby?

I appreciate your response, but the Sierra and it's clones are not really the style I'm looking for.

There isn't one that matches perfectly.

I think I'd go with the magnum cigar from woodenpenpro.com. It has a similar clip and the chrome and black would suit the baron style I think.

 

[shortz1lla]

Wow, the clip is crazy close! The other cigars I've seen had nothing in common with the aforementioned kits. I guess that's as good as I'm going to find? Thanks Dan!

It seems like there is a big hole in the market for an affordable ballpoint that matches the style of the baron etc. I know I'd buy then.

The jr gent ballpoint in rhodium is just too darn expensive for me.

I agree on the Rhodium kit's price, a bit high for a ballpoint in my opinion. There is also the lack of other options in platings that does it in. It would be nice to see them offered. It seems that the Jr Gents and Barons are among the best selling RB/FP, adding some complimentary kits appears to be a no brainer from my limited view.

I've tried a couple of times with the Jr Gent ballpoint --- haven't raised enough eyebrows to bother carrying them.

Hmm. Out of curiosity, what would the ballpark price range be for one in chrome?

I don't know. The supplier I used for these no longer publishes their prices and I can only get it by asking for a quote. My guess would be in the range of a Chrome Jr Gent 1 with a stock refill and a couple of bucks more with an upgrade to a Schmidt Easyflow 9000.

I checked and probably about $6 to $8 retail with shipping included depending on the seller.

interesting I'm surprised there was not enough interest I'd be interested in several in that price range

When I need a matching ballpoint/fountain/rollerball I go with the jr gent or the el Grande. These two ballpoints can also be converted to pencils.

I would also be interested at that price point. I'm actually a bit surprised they're not a big seller already, considering their good looks and that they fill a gap in the market.

Round up enough buyers (say 300 kits) and I'll help you with the logictics. I can't run a group buy.

I had a very severe Austin Powers moment, "yes, yes, yes, yes, NO NO NO!!" I wish I could make a case for that but judging from the number of responses to this thread................

 

[Dan Masshardt]

Yeah, I'm not interested enough to run a buy like that.

I would buy 5 or 20 though. Haha.

I truly am surprised that nobody sells the Jr ballpoint in chrome. Or even black ti for that matter.

I see that csusa started offering the 2 rollerball in chrome so maybe, eventually,..

Yup, five or twenty here too...
