Just thoroughly cleaned this pen for my mother, but she can't find the converter and I don't have any cartridges that seem to fit.

Does this pen take an unusual size of cartridge? If so, does anyone have an empty they could part with?

The modern Lady FP's only accept short international cartridges. Try your local stationers.

Thank you - short international cartridge did work ! I was simply being too cautious trying to fit the barrel over the cart.

I have the cutest little converter for my Lady Charlotte, but it only holds a fairy thimble amount of ink. The carts are better and hold way more ink.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

You can of course get a bottle of ink and syringe fill the cartridges.

Waterman minicartridges will fit (you can't buy them everywhere, but available on the net). The monteverde mini converter will fit as well; you can chose your own ink then.

Happy Writing!, Mainecoon

SOME brands of standard international cartridges will have a base thet is too broad to fit the sammler pens by Waterman. I have an Ici-et-la with that problem.

It's a bit hit and miss.

The short Waterman carts are a bit narrower at the base.

      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
