I have found that nowadays many of the so called piston fillers are actually "captured converters." CS got into putting them into some of their high end pens (example, Nelson II) before they tanked and Marlen is utilizing them now. Ask before you buy if any doubt. Stay far, far away from them. They are awful and can be impossible and/or expensive to repair / replace.
