Waterman Laureatte Nib


AVITWeb

Recommended Posts

Was just looking to see if anyone could point me in the direction of a replacement Waterman Laureatte Nib. Does not have to be gold plated.

Mine is around 20 years old and the nib has corroded significantly.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

I was just here....Where did I go?

There are two styles for the Laureat - early and late. The early nib is very plain, the later version has a couple of engraved lines.

 

The early nib and feed are interchangeable with the Forum. The nib, but not the feed, is comon with the early Graduate, Pro Graduate, Centurion and probably all lower end steel nib pens.

 

I haven't tested the interchangeability of the later version but it looks identical to the nib on the Graduate/Graduate Color/Allure/Apostrophe series, as well as the plastic bodied JIF school pen. I intend to buy school pens for spare nibs but haven't needed to try it.

 

My favorite Forum these days has an old Laureat nib I traded because all of the plating had come off. The bare steel looks good in the Forum (a stubbed medium - great writer) while the Laureat has a new looking plated nib from the Forum.

 

I don't have any spares right now. Like you, I had corroded nibs and swapped them out.

 

good luck,

Craig

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
