Fountain pen and ballpoint set

[Graham]

Plenty of fountain pen and rollerball sets about but SWMBO wants a decent FP and ball point set and I cannot find one. Wonder why that is ?

I cant answer that really. I guess in the grand scheme of this not many sets of pens are sold?

Put a Parkr refill in to the rollerball pen turn an approx ½" cylinder and glue into the final of the pen.

I like the sound of that one. Has to be worth a try. Thanks.

A very close match is an Omega FP and a streamline.

Matching pens are delightful but can be confusing unlike but similar create a lovely pair I am guessing a Fountain Pen seldom used would be unused after a while Pencils the same most useage would be the Roller Ball or Ball Point. Everything depends on the lady mate the proposition comes back to you two sitting through the thoughts. All the best Peter.

That won't quite work. You also need a sleeve over the thin end of the refill, otherwise it sticks out too far.

Even better (in my opinion) is an Omega FP and a Virage ball point. Especially so given the similarity between the Omega FP/Rollerball and the Virage FP/Rollerball.

An opportunity for a new addition to the Omega range Dan?

I have never used a rollerball but according to the wife it is to much like a FP, i.e. the ink is 'wet' so smudges on shiny xmas cards etc and takes time to dry on ordinary paper.

I have kept clear of the Omega ballpoint so far. This mainly down to the desire to offer different options. At a risk of sending customers to another supplier Vinny appears to stock the virage ball point.

So he does. Thanks Dan.

Looks like a solution or two coming up in these conversations differing kits are refreshing.
