Is that Plaque OR or plaque ORG??

 

Plaque OR would mean goldplated.

And the problem now is that it is without converter and Waterman's big ink cartridges do not fit

or Parker's or Pelikan. Any ideas ?

Looking at the nib this is a Cf pen. You need a special converter for this. See the recent thread ib the Waterman forum about this.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

So I just got a 1st generation Waterman Gentleman with "PLAQUE ORG" (all upper case and not in quotes) and a hallmark stamped next to it. What does that mean as far as what kind of gold plating, gold filled, etc. it is? I put one of my 1980's original converters in and it seems to work. Nice nib, even though it isn't marked as F or M, it looks like a medium to me. It's got that Waterman softness to it that allows for a little bit of line variation with good spring back.

Plaqué means plated

 

Or is gold

 

The G means, as far as I can find that the Gold is applied by galvanisation. (which I learned today, the rest of this is already in my answer 2 years ago.)

Hmmm Plaque is plated.

 

 

Milor has or in it (gold) Mi could be demi (half)

 

I could not find the French meaning of milor. Google wants to translate milord (my lord), or Spanish milor which is also milord.

 

 

Larousse does not know it.

It could be that the gold is chiseled like grain (mil)

 

Perhaps one of our French members can jump in here?

Milor is an Italian jewelry manufacturer so maybe they had a hand in the finishing.

 

also Milor

 

Hmmm, I really doubt a Greek or Italian company doing the Waterman Concord....

But the second link has the name as I suggested: Mil-Or with Mil being grain.

Perhaps gold coloured like the ripe grain in the fields?

 

Just speculating...

 

Let's hope Nath or X0f72000 or one of the other "usual French suspects" :D chimes in.....

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
