Hi everyone!

 

Had a really good day today, I found a pen in a leather case at the local Goodwill for 2.99 USD. I got real excited when I saw that it is a Waterman! ANY Waterman is probably better than 90% of my pen collection, so I started searching for the model.

I didn't realize that there are soooooo many of them to search through, but finally, Success !!

It turns out to be a blue marbled Preface with gold metalwork and 18k nib. Pretty cool, eh?

I have a question however. Does it take an international cartridge, or must it be Waterman specific? There's no converter with it.

 

Doug :D

 

Update. It's Romance Blue. Nice!

If it's the narrower barrel, it might be the same one I have. I use Waterman cartridges which I've been able to get at Office Depot, though I'd think you could get them almost anywhere on line. Mine has a rust colored marble case but the Waterman/Parker arrow clip broke and I've lost track of it. I checked to see if I had a converter, but mine is only for a Cross, so sorry, but I can't help you out with that.

 

Enjoy your pen.

International cartridges work fine. It came with a nice pen case as well.

Maybe I'll post some shots later if anyone is interested.

      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
