I have tried the schmidt pencil refills in a few kits today some it fitted with no problem the sierra I tried shortening the tail end that didnt work and I tried opening up the hole in the pen mechanism to 2.5mm but that didnt work but it fitted the Lucida perfectly and the Executive pen from vinny also the cigar but not the cigar ultra
I made a set up of the sierra Pen and the Lucida pencil and they work well together what do you think

I think, as usual you've done a fantastic job and have used the pencil inserts in a much better way than they were intended on the euro style pens.

I think you've done a great job and it's good to compile a list of pens they will or won't work with:thumbs:

Timber bits sell some that look similar in pen refills Parker Style Lead Mechanism - Timberbits - Made in Taiwan

Many thanks for looking this up Woody, most useful. Wish I'd known this last time I ordered from t/b as I have a customer that want a chrome sierra pencil. However, I now have a gold sierra pencil so will have a look to see if I can simply use a chrome kit with the mechanism from the gold kit :nooidea:
