I don't believe this is an Imperial, though not wholly sure of the differences for BP's, though this does match size of a burgundy BP I have as part of a PFM set.

Found this on ebay for next to nothing. Of course it has some cracks. Still, It's the first of this sort I've seen. I have handled a handful of the FP demos.

Hi David,
I was under the impression that the BP sold with the PFMs was a "generic" ( for want of a better term...) one and used with other lines ( I guess that leaves Imperials) . So I'd assume that it would be correct to pair this with a PFM demonstrator or an Imperial demontrator ( was there one?..I don't recall seeing one) . Interesting item anyway,been a couple on the 'bay lately.
Regards
Hugh

I think I have one of these somewhere but I do have Imperial ballpoints as well. Perhaps I can scrutinize them when I get home this Friday and post dimensions and photos. I'm curious, David, why you think it might be specific to PFM line. Gut feel? Or are there specific features you're tuning in to. I tend to think Hughmight be right, surmising that it could be a design common to both lines. Maybe different color offerings?!? Catalog of the time would help. Mike

BP Pens seem to be going fairly cheap these days, unless it is a Jotter and they are way high. I picked up several Eversharp CA's for nearly nothing and laid out a whopping $5 for a Reynolds Rockets thanks to ebay. I love to fix these toys and make them working pens once more. One of the hobbies more neglected areas.

The PFM (Imperial?) BP Demo again, this time with an earlier ballpoint Demo ... TM TD? Snorkel?

Nice pair David, I lean to a later snorkel BP for the reason the early BPs that went with the TDs either had a screw cap or slip cap. Whatever it's a pretty serious bit of gear, I like it.
