You turned a perfectly good pen into a pencil ? ? ?  :ahhh ....... WHY?

Kind of reminds me of when I got drunk and tried to twist a dog into the shape of a balloon ...  :whistle:

I read this thread and took and old Inoxcrom for which I could not find refills and put a Parker refill in it.


The pen is metalic, extra-slim, very nice to use. The Parker refill is smaller and the tip to thin, it stood out more than half an inch and it had almost an inch of space to fill in the back. I used a piece of hollow plastic from one of these to keep the refill from sticking out.


I took the spring from a €0,50 plastic pen to put behind the Parker refill (still needs some tension adjustment) and got myself a Metal Parker Slim.

 :tu:

(I got to learn how to post my own pics to show it...)
