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.

    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.
