Source For Z23 Converter?

[sentience]

I recently bought an old Lamy Persona model 021, and was dismayed to find that it did not come with a converter.

 

The ever-reliable KMPN Blog has a handy reference to the Lamy Persona and its converters. The one I need appears to be the one on the right in this photo from that post, the Z23:

The only place I've found online claiming to sell Z23 converters is TheInkFlow.com; unfortunately, what they sell as a Z23 is actually the Z25 (the converter on the left in the image above). I know, because I ordered one and received it today.

 

Does anyone know where I could find a Z23 converter in this day and age? Failing that, is there another converter or cartridge type available today that is likely to fit?

You could just use a modern converter, I use the z26 in my persona and it works fine.

The later Persona models are indeed compatible with modern Lamy converters, but the oldest Personas (the ones with 18k gold nibs), which use the right-hand converter in the photo above, do not fit the modern converters, which are too wide to fit.
