Stay away from those. I can't be 100% sure just from the photo, but from past experiences with the same (or very similar) design I can tell you they are horrible. Never mind that they disintegrate just when looked at, they won't fit most fountain pens, the ones that take standard international cartridges. If they ship free, you might think you are only risking $1.79. No! You are also risking your pens and probably your shirt pocket, not to mention your peace of mind. Get some Schmidt converters even if they cost you more than the pens you are going to use them with.

TherocThe thing is, I can't find the Schmidt converters here, do you know any sites that offer International delivery at GOOD prices for it?
Anyway, I already ordered them so I'll try them when an old $1.5 Schneider I have

UaexemaratIt depends on what your definition of "good prices" is. If you are hoping to get a Schmidt (or similar) converter for under $10, shipped internationally to a "minor" market (sorry for that term), then you are probably out of luck. You could try seitz-global.com they sell the Kaweco converter for about $6 and they ship free from Germany to the USA. They might ship to where you live. However, there are over 2600 listings (world-wide) for fountain pen converters on eBay. You just have to budget a bit more and dig deeper.

TherocDon't worry about that term, I'm looking for shipping that's under $10 and a maximum of $15 for shipping alone, I'm probably going to get the converter and a pen or two and European sites tend to ship here for much cheaper, thanks.
And the problem with eBay is that when the seller doesn't give the international shipping cost, it's usually at least $20 for the tiniest item and can't be combined with other items.
Seitz ships to Saudi Arabia, which is right next to UAE, where I live but not here :(

UaexemaratYou're probably right. Cultpens ships worldwide for £10, regardless of quantity. They sell the Kaweco for £2.49. Good luck
