Parker Deluxe Fountain Pen Converter

Works well, does not stick like cheaper version

I spent ages on the Parker web site trying to find out about pen converters, as from the Amazon partner listings it seems there are several at different price points. In fact there are essentially two models, a basic plastic thing and one - this one - with metal bits, though a gold plated version of the metal-bitted one is also available for those who insist on burning money on never-seen shinyness. The Parker site was no help, as it's been designed by some spiv who confuses graphical gimmickry with information, so had to trawl forums and collector sites to get this fundamental info which should have been in a catalogue. SO - this seemed to be the best bang-for-buck deal and I invoked the credit card... The converter arrived extremely quickly. No packaging apart from jiffy bag which isn't a problem but surprised me. No instructions but took me all of a minute to figure out to twist the end bit, not the apparent ring further down. I didn't want to bust it by cavalierly wrenching it with gusto - always best to spend a minute thinking and a lifetime of owning than to presume, impatiently wrench and then sulk regretfully for countless years with a leaky gizmo... Ok,fitted to an IM, it works nicely. The gentle "twist to unscrew" piston action makes it clean to use, unlike the damn piston yanking direct-pull spurt monsters I was brought up on back in the day of my original Flighter. Infinitely better than cartridges, which are an invention of Ye Devylle, and much better than the gormless rubber bulb in a nutcracker nonsense that's fitted to an 70s Parker of unknown modellage. I will certainly fit more of these to the half dozen cartridge-only Parkers I have kicking around the house. Should come as standard, really. Delighted. Recommended. Maximum stars.

Good value and easy to use better than t traditional ones as non- injection so twisted motion makes no Ink leaking during refill process

Parker Chrome Trim Deluxe Converter I bought two, just in case. I only used one so far. Use the screw to pump the air out of the converter (by twisting it - works smoothly), attach it to the pen, dip the nib into the ink bottle and then twist the screw the other way around, to fill the converter with ink. I use qink from parker as well, barely had to wipe off excess ink. The converter came in a 6 by 4 inches bubble wrap bag, with a small label (only barcode and name of the item "Parker Chrome Trim Deluxe Converter"). While the packaging of it looked cheap - I mean... bubble wrap - the item works very nicely, haven't had a leak yet and managed to empty the ink three times without getting anything on my fingers. (I only received the item on the 30th of april). Absolutely lovely item. So I just ordered another three for the extra fountain pens I just bought. Please be advised that the review is for the item sold and dispatched by Amazon. Since I just got the last three ones, the link directed me to the item dispatched and sold by K Direct. So I have no idea about how they will dispatch the item and how it will be packaged or even if it's the same quality as the item Amazon shipped to me (both items having the same name).

Very useful product

Better than original rubber pump

Not quite so tight fit and the old original ones but still do the job well and more convenient for filling than cartridges.

converts parker fountain pens to use bottled ink rather than expensive cartridges. Simple to use and saves you money and less waste. Makes pen easier to clean as well - use for flushing

No lo he podido usar. Lo he pedido para una estilográfica que no es de la marca y no encaja

Ottimo convertitore per la mia Parker in, originale marchiato Parker versione Deluxe..... bene per caricare la stilo con inchiostri profumati tipo quelli francesi della herbin......

I’ve been using mine for years now. Keeps going and keeps cutting down on my plastic waste.

Perfect fit for all Parker fountain pens-excellent product worth the money

Produto original, serve perfeitamente nas canetas Parker. Vem com uma ponteira em borracha que garante uma perfeita vedação, impedindo vazamentos internos.
