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

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
