SMOOTHERPRO Solid Brass Ballpoint Pen Compatible with Fisher Space SPR Refill and Parker Refill Weight EDC Use Signature Office School Retro Black (FSR010)

I just love the in hand feel of this pen. It has a heft to it but not uncomfortable even for long periods of writing.

The ballpen is not writing because the ink has either dried up or the refill is empty.

Ich liebe diesen Stift. Mittlerweile besitze ich 5 Stück, weil ich sie überall verteile und auch mal einen verliere.... Und auch im Einsatz auf wasserfestem Papier funktionieren sie super. Sie schreiben super und der Bolt Verschluss ist super entspannend.

I get the seller five stars for service quality and sales, the pen I had to rate lower. I like a nice heavy brass pen that feels good in the hand comfortable to write with, but a simple L-shaped bolt action is all it needs I don't understand the point in the other slots for the bolt. If this is to accommodate different type of pen refills that should be written somewhere clear, personally I find they just get in the way when taking it in and out so I stopped using this pen all together

Very nice weight, have recieved many compliments, and have had a lot of people interested in it. It was shorter than I expected, which led to a lot of marks on my palm when fidgeting with the bolt action. The finished rubbed off within a few days, and it is now a polished brass. After a couple months of use, my fingers started to turn black every day when spinning/ playing with it too much; it's embarrassing. I have tried cleaning it inside and out, using a few different products and nothing has helped. I am about ready to find a new pen, as I have to actively keep myself from fidgeting with this one now. Very disappointing since this one is great aside from that issue. Haven't used the original refill yet, went straight to a Fisher Space Pen.

I've had this pen in brass for a long while and use it all the time. Yes, the bolt screw can loosen. A little blue Loctite fixes that. The pen has two positions. One is for Parker style refills and the other is for Fisher space pen refills. This is a great feature since you can use either without needing the adapter (a plastic piece that makes the Fisher refill the same size as a Parker). A couple things to note about this black version:' The "patina" on it actually rubs off. I found this out when I had to use a rubber gripper to unscrew the bottom (to put in a refill). The clip has been changed. As many people have noted in their reviews, the older clip with the "S" cut into it has been replaced with a solid clip with "Smootherpro" painted or etched on. The old looked MUCH better. My black pen had the wrong spring in it. It works, more or less, with a Parker refill, but not with the Fisher refill without the adapter. Because the spring is too short, the refill and bolt lever rattle around when the pen is retracted if I put in the Fisher refill. The older pen had a longer spring that worked well with either size refill. The refills the pen comes with (like a lot of pens) appear to be the inexpensive Schmidt refills. These refills are low-quality and tend to leak and to write poorly. Throw them away and get some Fisher and some Parker refills and just use those. I ordered a pack of longer springs for this pen. Assuming that fixes the Fisher refill problem, I will be happier with the pen. If I can't fix the problem, it means I can only use space pen refills with an adapter, which defeats the point of the pen having two settings. I still think this is a decent pen made with good materials. I would not recommend getting the "black" one since it is just the brass one with a fake patina on it that rubs off. The brass Smootherpro pen I have is a five star pen. This pen is ALMOST the same but it's only a four-star due to the incorrect spring, the inferior appearance of the clip, and the poor patina (I'll probably just rub it all off at some point, and this will be another brass pen).

Ich bin begeistert von diesem Kugelschreiber: er liegt gut in der Hand, hat ein angenehmes Gewicht (ich mag keine Schreibgeräte, bei denen man nicht merkt, dass man etwas in der Hand hat), er schreibt schön flüssig und er sieht auch richtig gut aus. Also ich bin rundrum zufrieden :)
