Has anyone seen these double sided ball point pens?

I'm trying to figure out how to refill these but I'm so confused. It's brass so I don't think this would be disposable but I also have no idea what it is. It is only marked Windsor on the clip.

Have you ever just

Tried a new ink Diamine Classic Red with my FC SIG medium nib and I just love the font it makes with my handwriting. Have you ever felt this way?

WTS Sailor 1911

Hi! I'm letting go of my red and black Sailor 1911s 14k gold bold nib. I barely used this, I found myself grabbing my classic looking pens more. Condition is B, though it looks like I've barely touched it.

Here are photos and verification photo is the bottom of the pictures!

The past few weeks have been so fun. Hunting for the collection, going store to store. Meeting new people every time. Reddit trades and letter exchanges. Pen exchanges and pen buys. All of these experiences leads to a great collection and the thing I value most about the journey is the conversations we all have with each other, the subtle connections that form as we hunt for the collection; they're all memories within these pens. I would never have gotten this far into the collection without you all. My very first binder almost full and I have a feeling the pens here will rotate out to keep a good theme.

From left to right

The Pelikan collection: M150, M205, M300

Missing: M4XX, M6XX. M7XX, M8XX, M9XX, M1XXX

The Large Collection: Chopard Palladium Grain D'orge, ST Dupont Line D, Sailor 1911L

The Vintage collection: Parker 21, Parker 75 Flamme, Parker 75 Diamine, Montblanc 144V Barley, Mabie Todd Swan, Mabie Todd Blackbird

The Red collection: Pilot 78G, Sailor TIGP, Sailer 1911S, Montblanc 114, Franklin Christoph Model 29 Bellus, Shirley Temple

Thinking of shifting the Red collection to finish the Pelikan, and then go a different route to finish out the binder. What do y'all think?

Hi all! Looking to trade my Montblanc 144V Barley for any Nakaya, Pelikan M1000, Pilot Emperor (I know this might be a stretch), or Sailor KOP with any size nib.

Verification

The Montblanc is marked 925 silver and the nib is an 18K gold fine to medium fine nib with a lot of the tipping left on there. I rate this a C though it can be a B because the shine is still very much there as well as the nib quality, only C because of the tarnish at the finial of the cap where the montblanc logo is, but for such a vintage piece, it is still in very much great shape!

Will only answer if you have commented and please follow the rules of the subreddit. Thank you!
