Hi folks!

 

Right to the point:

1. Is the section on this little pen threaded or friction fit?
2. Does anyone actually have a replacement bulb for these, or is it common to use the end of a sac to repair the bulb filler mechanism?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

Recollection is the bulb is cut from conventional sac. Not sure on gripping section.

 

regards

I have one of the faceted pens, and the section is threaded.

Hope that helps!

In nearly all cases, when a pen barrel serves as the ink reservoir, the section will be threaded.

A friction seal is not secure enough when a loose section will unleash a flood.

Of course, that makes perfectly good sense, David. I was looking for the "right answer", and hadn't even though about the logic of a friction vs. threaded in this case (barrel resevoir).

 

I appreciate the information, guys.

I can't remember which size sac I used. It was either 12 or 10. I couldn't get the little ring back on, so I left it off, and keep it somewhere.

 

I have a tealy turquoisey marbled set. Which color do you have?
