Dunhill Gemline Old Style Refills

[CharlieP]

Dear FPN er's,

 

Every once in a while I like to use a ballpoint pen and so just the other day acquired on Ebay a NOS Dunhill Gemline (Old Style) Barley Gold Plated Ballpoint pen. Absolutely love it.

I am having one heck of a time finding refills. Every place I look is out of stock. Can you recommend something that will work? And better yet a gel ink!

 

Thanks,

 

CharlieP

Dunhill outsourced a lot of their pen manufacturing to Pilot-Namiki so i would have a look at current Pilot refills for a replacement. The Pilot BLG7 looks about right, though without a side-by side comparison it's difficult to tell.

 

Edit: Wheeler's Luxury Gifts in the UK seems to have stock, though I have no experience of them and can understand not wanting to import refills!

Thanks Raj, but they do not fit. However, after many failures I finally found what does fit and I will now share it with everyone.

 

Monteverde M132 which is just a regular ball point.

 

Monteverde M432 which is a Gel Refill. Tried the gel today and it is a dream!
