Can't Find Appropriate Ink Cartridge

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

So this is my first post. I bought a pen from Amazon's discount site, MyHabit, almost a full year ago now. I tried to find the correct cartridge for this pen. I tried two or three different cartridges to no avail back then. I gave up and frankly do not remember what cartridges I tried. The little empty sleeve that came inside the pen says "Lady Austria" on it. And MyHabit listed it as a Montegrappa pen, but it does not particular look similar to anything in their line from what I can tell. It should be noted that I am very new to fountain pens. The pen in question is my first purchase and I gave up for awhile after this. But I ended up buying a Lamy Safari with a Z24 converter and Waterman Intense Black ink at the end of this past January and I like it. So thought I should see if anyone knew the ink cartridge or converter for this "Teorema Lacca Boreaux" pen.Fountain%20Pen%20Help%20Needed.jpg

I did find it listed somewhere as a Montegrappa pen, so you might want to try a Montegrappa converter. I've seen those at amazon dot com (no affiliation). Not cheap. And they look a lot like the standard ones which you can also find at amazon, in 3packs for maybe 5 dollars. They might fit, or the pen might be too slender - but you should probably be able to fit a standard international cartridge in there, either long or short. Those are often sold in office supply stores. Or, again, amazon, or any of the pen sellers on this board.

Good luck with the hunt.

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully, I'll find something that works now that I'm returning to the hunt.

Montegrappa used the international standard cartridge and converter. But that is not a Montegrappa of which I am familiar.

The ebay seller "judperl" sells a lot of these pens. (See for example his listing here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Judds-NEW-Blue-Ultra-Thin-Montegrappa-Fountain-Pen-/141122998583?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20db961137) Maybe if you contact him he can tell you what kind of converter/cartridge it needs?

Current Wishlist:

Visconti, Visconti, and...more Visconti! (And some ST Duponts too). (Ok fine, getting on the Omas and Montblanc trains now too. Toot toot.) (And maybe on the Montegrappa one too, but only for the Miyas.)

      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
