I was recently gifted what I believe to be a Pilot Metropolitan Taupe Lizard (see photo)

  1. Can anyone tell me if I’ve identified it correctly?

  2. This is my first squeeze converter. Is it opaque? If so how do you guesstimate ink levels? All my other pens have piston converters with transparent reservoirs, so you can just look.

    You can try the squeeze converter, if you don’t like you can try the CON-40 converter. It’s the only other Pilot converter that can go in a Metro. But it’s not a really liked converter… I can’t really say because I never used mine yet, I just refill cartridges for my Pilot pens. Which is another option for you.

      I would also recommend refilling. Less messy since it can be done with a syringe, higher ink capacity, and Pilot cartridges are transparent so you can see remaining ink.
