## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this converter fit a Grande Connaisseur Schaeffer circa 1980’s model ?**
A: I am using this in a Schaeffer 444 XG from a similar era with no problems, but I can't vouch for your pen specifically.

**Q: Is this a screw or plug in. I have a university branded fountain pen and no clue of the model**
A: This is a plug in not a screw

**Q: Is this compatible with the old Sheaffer slim fountain pens that took the slim cartridge?**
A: I don't think it does- I got one that for the ' black dot' sailor type pens, but it didn't fit. I'm now using a plunger to refill existing cartridge as I couldn't find anything. Might be different if not the ' black dot' version.

**Q: My scheaffer was given to me in 1967 i have no idea of the model number. It takes standard refills though, will this convertor suit?**
A: This is a convertir specific for scheaffer refills- that are shaped just like a cilinder and are larger than the standard ones.
If your scheaffer works with standard refills, you need to buy a piston for standard refills…

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too long for my vintage pen but easy to adjust!
*by M***Y on 8 October 2025*

Too long for my 30 year old Sheaffer. However I snipped part of the end off and now fits perfectly. I suggest buyers measure their old piston for comparison.
