Hello everyone! As the title suggests I have some difficulty finding the right converter for the pilot mr ( European metropolitan which is supposed to take standard intern. cartridge and converters ). There have been many discussions here in this forum about this pen but none of them ever reached a definite conclusion as to what converter actually fits. Some people recommended the Faber castell, others the Pelikan and so on but equal amount of people said otherwise ... So, I did something different, I measured the inner diameter of the cartridge that came with the pen and found it to be 2mm, so theoretically we must find a converter with similar inner diameter. And here's my question to the more experienced pen owners of this forum and anyone who has some converter not filled with ink: Can you measure the inner diameter and post here if you find some at 2mm? (also the cartridge that came with the pen is 3,8 cm long and has a tube 7mm thick for reference). And now a little backstory , I recently found out about the wonderful world of pens and since I write a lot on a daily basis I decided to give it a try, so I bought a pen that many recommend for beginners, the pilot mr. I ordered with it a Faber castell converter but the hole of the converter is to narrow to fit the pen's feed tube. ( I think what many refer to as faber castell converter is, in fact, the graf von faber castell converter, but I might be wrong, so maybe that's why it didn't fit my pen ). Now, I modified my converter and managed to get it working but it would be nice to find one that works out of the box... All help is appreciated! Oh this is also my first post so I hope its in the right forum section
