Yeah, the Schmidt DSM 2006 doesn’t fit in either the plastic barrel Jotter or the full Stainless one, spring in or out. I’ve seen video reviews of people easily dropping them into the all-steel Jotters, so I guess it fits some of them, but not mine.
Back when I was in college I bought myself a Parker pen/pencil set from the campus bookstore. After viewing this post I now recognize these as Parker Jotter models. Incredibly, I still have both the pen and the mechanical pencil — and of course both still work just fine.
I’ve lost or have gotten rid of so many things in the nearly 40 years that have passed since then. The fact that I actually still have this set after nearly four decades (including multiple moves) strikes me as a minor miracle.
Ooh, you’ve got a 40 year old Parker Jotter set? I bet you have metal cap threads in them. Lucky you! :D
I like Pentel Energel ink in colours, but it doesn’t last long. For black or blue, UNI Jetstream is very smooth, with just the right friction, and long lasting.
