I have a customer who uses a capless rollerball and his preference is for me to make him a pen that would allow him to use this refill. He does not want to mess with a cap if at all possible. The problem is that the refill he uses is shorter. His refill is 3-7/8 inches and hte Schmidt 5888 rollerballs are 4-3/8 inches. He uses a retro 51 Tornado rollerball pen and says the rollerball is the best he has ever used. He tried the Schimdt 5888 and is okay with switching cartridges but wants a pen with no cap to hassle with. He is aware that this rollerball is guaranteed to not dry out for one year, but after that there is no guarantee. He is fine with that. He runs through rollerball cartridges in less than one year. Does anyone know of a ballpoint pen kit that could be modified to take the Schmidt rollerball?
