So lets say yesterday it fitted, today it does not. Are we talking same converter and same barrel. You dont have a roller ball in same colour that you have mixed up only their barrels will not accept a cartridge or converter.

Okay let me see here phileas waterman same one i have always had i only have the one . the converter will not fit into the barrel in order for me to close the pen all the way ? does that make sense now i m just so frustrated with this pen it seems like there is always a problem with it .... I found the converter that I bought from waterman yesterday and it used to fit the pen in every way and now not so the barell will not allow the converter in so I can close the pen all the way .

Strange. Have you used an international cartridge in the pen at some point? If so it possible it is stuck in the barrell?

Until it doesn't work.

      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

      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
