Platignum Cartridges

[vejavi]

I have some old Platignum pens which use a specil cartridge as shown below. I wonder if anyone knows where I can find them. Or a converter for those pens.

My Platignum uses universal cartridge. it should also fit on yours too.

I have a modern Platignum which uses standard cartridges too....However the older ones which are robably from the 60s and 70s use the cartridge I mentioned which has a thinner diameter towards the end as seen in the picture.

Don't think you'll find a converter for these pens(i haven't) but packs of carts do turn up on ebay,probably your best bet

Cult pens suggest some cartridges for the Platignum pen, it may be worth a contact email as they could be talking about the new range of Platignums.

I know it's an old topic but in case it's worth it for anyone with an old Platignum, I ordered the "Platignum cartridges" from Cult Pens but, as I suspected fro the photo on the site, they are not at all similar to the unusual design of the older cartridges from the sixties and seventies, and do not fit either of my Platignums.

 

I did manage to get one of them to hold an international/universal stubby cartridge, but it wasn't as firm as I'd like and there was some leaking inside the barrel - but that may have been due to age and all it's associated wear and tear. I haven't yet found a converter to fit, and so am relying on my solitary vintage cartridge to hold up to serial syringe filling.

 

I guess the likes of Ebay remain the only solution, unless anyone has better intel.

Only ever seen it mentioned once, but I followed the suggestion to try Cross brand cartridges the other day, and they do seem to fit. I only have a sample of one Platignum cartridge pen to try though, so maybe someone else would like to have a go and report back?

That's interesting and something I'll try - I was looking at some Cross cartridges the other day and noticed that their slim nose might be similar to that of old Platignum carts. I'll get back to you when I try it!

I managed to find some on ebay from The Hamilton Pen Company; my No5 will need it as might the pen I was meant to have sent out to me buy another seller: the No4.
