Hi all

I have had a Starwalker fountain pen for a while and lost the original piston converter so been using cartridges.

I recently ordered and received a new piston converter (number 10019) and it does not fitdoes anybody know if I'm just being an idiot or do they come in different sizes - it's diameter is slightly to wide!


Please Help - I'm so frustrated!!

Kind regards and thanks in advance

Ummmmmm, the Starwalker never supported a piston converter... How the heck did you manage to get one in? I once considered buying a Startwalker but was turned off by the idea of it being a cartridge only pen. Hope that doesn't make matters much worse... unsure.gif

You might try one of those small squeeze converters that are the same size as a cartridge. I noticed them announced for sale on this forum somewhere.... escapes me at the moment, you can hunt it down with the search feature......

The Starwaker does not support the current Montblanc converter. It has a threads and the Starwalker does not have threads. I you can order or find an old style Montblanc converter that has an end that looks like a carterage it will work.

For my older Mont Blanc Nobless (also known as SL or SlimLine), I found that a Pelikan converter fit. Basically what you're looking for is a converter for International Standard cartridges. The current threaded MB converter didn't have a chance of fitting because of the threads, even though it was good-looking. cool.gif
