This is the sterling silver Premier pen in the crosshatch grid pattern. Made in France, the Premier line was the luxury alternative to the 75 model. With its faceted rings and onyx ends, this pen has a distinctive flair as compared to the 75.

Available as a rollerball (shown above) or as FP with your choice of any available exotic French 18K nib with section.

Please note that there are two different rollerball sections, with one sporting the engraved lines and has goldplating over the edge, while the other does not. Both are triangular gripping areas with two lined teardrop shaped areas.

Also note that these pens all have the FP barrel, which means that it is missing a plug for proper use as a rollerball. Without this plug the RB refill will be loose in the barrel, and is unusable. I have seen examples of how others resolve this, and in one case one person shoved gum down the barrel. Yuk!

My solution is to use a wooden dowel (a.k.a. toothpick) or plastic coffee stirrer that is cut to the proper length to act as a shim. Since this is easily removable, you can always convert the Premier from RB to FP use, and back again. If this fix is not acceptable to you, please do not order the RB.

New old stock, pen only. No papers.
