Sheaffer Sentinal Ballpen Refill Options

[RustyTines]

If anyone can help its you guys!

 

I just purchased a couple of pens. a restored pastel green Sheaffer Sentinel Snorkel (14K triumph nib) and its less appealing counterpart the ballpen. The pens are not in yet, but I did stumble upon a refill for the Sheaffer ballpoint. I immediately purchased it and tested the refill, and am not enthused to write with it. to be honest, I'll probably only use it when I'm in a pinch at a restaurant stuck sketching a design on a napkin, but I'm hoping to find a refill from perhaps another brand that has more glide and juiciness. Thanks in advance for the help!

Monteverde makes a roller ball refill replacement for the Sheaffer BP. I do not know if it will work in a reminder clip pen though. Pendemonium sells the tapered plugs needed to use the modern BP refill in these pens, but again, I don't know if it will work in the Monteverde refill.

Wow! This was my first post on the FPN forum and am impressed with the speed and wealth of knowledge here. I just checked out the Monteverde refills from penbotique.com and sure enough it look like the taper will work. I'll repost the success of the refill when my pen arrives. I'm excited about this purchase- it's my first set of vintage pens. I'm hoping for the enlightenment that many sheaffernistas experience with the Snorkel. Thanks for the help!
