Montblanc Giant Ballpoint Refill

[cspens]

Can anyone tell me if Montblanc still makes this Refill? I picked up one of the ballpoints at the DC Show and have not been able to locate any of the refills online. I contacted Montblanc here in the States and was told they needed an item number before they could tell me if the refills were still being made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think mine says Giant on it.

 

I bought a refill for my MB 735 ball point. Parker style don't work in my MB ball point. I got mine at a B&M. The round head is necessary for MB.

 

I'll have to keep an eye out for mine, it's sulking around somewhere.

 

Do you know the number of your MB ball point? That would help some when ordering a new BP cartridge.

I know it's non-FP, but could this be pinned or at least added to the reference resource thread?

Why did Montblanc change the design of the ballpoint pen refill?

What were they trying to accomplish?

Does the new refill represent an improvement?

Looks like one of those chiseling, cost-cutting measures. I always wondered why the blue plastic thing was on the end of the refill. Looks like a backward-compatibility measure.
