Selectip® Fine Gel Rollerball Refill - Black - Single Pack (0.5MM)

I had not used one of my most cherished pens because I was told the refills no longer existed. I went to a nice pen store and while they did not have them they looked on you site and found the refill. I ordered it as soon as I got home and within days I was using the pen my late mother-in-law gave me upon my Masters graduation in 1980! I miss her very much and the fine pen she gave me deeply reminds me of her love.

I bought the fine and the medium point versions since I had never tried either. In truth, I was shopping for a roller ball to use in my father's 50 year old Cross gold roller ball. Those were discontinued in 2005. These porous-point fillers are the only ones available that fit Dad's pen. I made the right choice because actually, I have two different needs in my work as a photographer that they satisfy to perfection. The pen flow reminds me of a fountain pen in consistency, much like the pens in use by my parents in their day. Thanks Cross for keeping Dad's heirloom on the job.
