Schmidt 6 Pack - Refill Black-P900-Fine Tip Parker Style Ballpoint Refill

Good product. I will buy again

Good refills, they work well, and it is handy to keep some in stock. Delivery was a little slow, but overall all good.

These refills are an excellent choice for use in Parker-style pens. I used to use Parker brand "Quink" refills exclusive in my pens because they wrote so well. I considered them the best quality ball-point style refills for writing. Unfortunately, Parker during the recent past has begun having their refills made in India, and they have not been up to Parker's previous standards. The most recent ones had problems that ranged from intermittent skipping, to failure to write from brand new right-out-of-the package. Parker refills were always expensive when you bought them in a stationary store, but with stationary stores dying out, the Internet has become the place to buy them. Since you don't know when you order where the refills were made I decided to try the Fine Tip Schmidts. They seem to be good quality and write smoothly enough. The ink doesn't seem to have the full blackness of the original Parker Quinks, but they seem much more reliable than what Parker is now packaging. I recommend that if you have Parker style pens, give the Schmidts a try. You'll save money as well.

Quite expensive with the shipping cost added, but unfortunately there isn't any place close to me that I can purchase the in a store.

These refills work for me. I use them in the Bastion Executive Luxury Metal Bolt-Action Ballpoint E (which I purchased through Amazon). The reason for not using the Bastion refill is solely the price. The Bastion refills are fine but are comparatively expensive.
