Mercian Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) Parker Converters: The earliest, piston style; notice that the Eversharp name appears on it: 0.8 ml. Early squeeze converter: 0.9 ml. Somewhat later squeeze converter, with a little less metal on the back end: 0.9 ml. 1970′s squeeze converter; the shape more closely mimics the cartridge, so it fits more pens: 0.5 ml. Slide converter, the current style: 0.6 ml. “Deluxe” piston converter, suspiciously like Waterman’s converter with a different mouth: 0.6 ml. Converters 1, 2, & 3 all have thick bands around their centres. They will not fit in to any Parker pen that was designed after 1980. Of the Parker pens of which I own examples, they do fit in to the Parker 45 and Parker 75. They may also fit other pre-1980 Parkers, but do not fit in to my Parker 25 (designed in 1974). I have totally copied this image (& the data above) from a post made by Francisco Pena back in 2013. Edited March 26, 2022 by Mercian Link to comment
