It appears that some Cross refills are rebranded as Sheaffer and not the other way round; as in the Sheaffer catalogs, the product codes start with an 8 and are appended SH. They can be used to refill any 0.5mm mechanical pencil and are supplied in a tube containing 15 leads. Cross 0.7mm Lead Refills – 8742

The converter is a piston fill converter; to use it, simply dip the nib into the bottle of ink and then turn the screw at the end, drawing the ink into the converter’s reservoir. The Cross Screw-in Style Ink Converter fits the Following Fountain Pens:
