Filling Mechanism: Rollerball

Amber Shimmer is one of the best color schemes on the Waterman Carene line of pens. Our rollerball version was gently used, showing only a few marks of light wear. It comes with a new refill that isn't photoed. These always feel smoother and more solid than rival Montblancs, due to their brass construction. Another nice feature is its spring-loaded clip. 14.4cm capped.

There's luxury, and there's luxury. Why spend more on a Montblanc, when you can have a stunning Pelikan 650 rollerball pen with a vermeil cap! Yes, that's a solid sterling silver cap that is plated in gold! Our preowned luxury pen sports only light wear that is barely noticeable at arm's length. Presently, it has a working blue rollerball refill, but we have no idea how much ink actually remains. The secret trick to refilling this pen is to unscrew the blind cap in the tail. The golden mama pelican on the top of the cap is tending 2 little chicks. 13.2cm capped.

Visconti Rinascimento pens break from more traditional looks for a rare, bold stab at design from the then budding Italian penmaker. Each end of the pen looks like a glittering teal green treasure, while the sterling silver barrel sleeve with a barley imprint offers luxury and elegance. No initials spoil the engravers plate. However the barrel and silver clip do show sometimes moderate wear. No dents, but some scratches, as well as general wear. We are out of the standard rollerball refills, but the refills themselves are easy to find for this pen. 13.8cm capped.

Dynamic swirls of white circulate through the teal and green of this Visconti Kaleido Voyager. It is a very attractive rollerball pen. We are temporarily out of refills, but this preowned luxury pen is in nearly mint condition. Its spring-loaded pocket clip makes it an easy draw when you need to get a pen out in a hurry. Plus its wider grip with threads that help with gripping assist your hand in not cramping. 13.6cm capped.

Visconti Pericle pens were inspired by the great leader of ancient Athens, Greece. We especially like the Grecian warrior helmet-inspired cap on this handsome blue rollerball pen. Although we are fresh out of rollerball refills, this pen remains an easy pen to fill with standard rollerball refills. It has some light wear from use, and it is one of the less common Visconti models. The clip is spring-loaded to help preserve it from repeated insertions into pockets. 14.5cm capped.

Yep. We are calling it. In our humble world view, Sheaffer Targas are now vintage pens. The early ones are more than 40 years old, and the design looks it...as handsome as it is. We love Targas, to be sure. Vintage is a title of distinction, and this Sheaffer Targa rollerball pen, electroplated in gold, is distinguished. No dents or deep scratches, only light wear from use. Well, that is until you get to the very discolored black section. We tried polishing it out without success. No cracks, just discolored. It uses Sheaffer rollerball refills, but we are, unfortunately, out of them. 13.5cm capped.

The ultimate pen in the Sheaffer Legacy line of pens was the King's Gold model. Our rollerball model comes with a new in the box refill, and the ruggedly attractive pen is in like-new condition. Based on the classic Sheaffer PFM, this is a nice, thick, bold pen. It is easy to grip and helps prevent cramping of the hand while writing. 13.8cm capped.
