Question 1

Will this accept Pilot G2 refills?

Accepted Answer

It can get confusing because the traditional Parker Jotter refill has been known as the "G2" refill for many, many decades. It is not cross-compatable will the pilot G2 gel refills. Pilot should not have named their pen this. I wish Pilot would come out with their gels in a Parker G2 compatable cartridge that would fit my Rotrings. Monte Verde makes good multi color gel and hybrid cartridges to fit this. The best black ink in a compatable refill is the Schmidt easyFLOW 9000 hybrid ink, IMO. It is made in Germany, like the original Rotrings were.

Question 2

Does this take Fisher space pen refills?  The medium black one

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as the space pen refill comes with the Parker G2 plastic adapter, to make the space pen refill longer. As long as it comes with the white adapter in the space pen refill package, it'll definitely work.

When you have the adapter, they'll fit into ANY pen that accepts Parker G2 style metal refills.

I strictly use the Parker G2 .7mm black and blue gel refills, or the Schmidt Easyflow 9000 medium refills. Anything else is just a waste of money and refills. I also have a Machine Era Markup Pen that ONLY accepts Pilot G2 refills that I like to write with occasionally and a 1.0mm Gel refill writes heavenly for me. But it has a crappy pocket clip so lives at home. I wish that Parker and Schmidt would make a 1.0mm bold tip refill, but until they do, they'll get my money for the medium tips 😉

I have TRIED to love the Fisher Space Pen refills over the last few years (everyone likes different things obviously lol), and as much as I wanted to (my last name is even Fisher LoL 😁), I just don't like them anymore. They really do write like junk and need a LOT of downward pressure to write half decent, which gives my hand fatigue quickly, and IMO, are only usable in very rough locations and where the hot/cold, writing on grease and water, etc are viable.

If you want a nice, cheap pen that uses the space pen refills, just get a Zebra F-701 at Walmart for like $7-8. The refill fits in there perfectly, without any mods. That's my preferred way to use the space pen refills. They're not hexagonal, but are very comfortable, with the same knurled grip as the Rotring above 😎👍

Best of luck if you actually get to read my answer 😎

Question 3

Is this Rotring 600 pen legitimate and brand new?

Accepted Answer

This is a reissued Rotring 600 by Rotring. It is almost identical to the original design: i think the only difference is in the top ring.

Question 4

Is there a red ink refill that will work in this pen?

Accepted Answer

Sure. This pen uses Parker-style refills. Several companies make the ballpoint or gel refills in red.
