Trying To Id This Waterman

[DrAtomic]

I recently acquired this Waterman, but can't seem to identify the pen. Perhaps it's a Frankenpen... The nib seems pretty plain, circa late 50's-early 60's, but the cartridge gives me pause. Then again, I'm pretty new to Waterman's!

 

Any tips would be welcome.

Thanks!

I am going for Ligne 60

By George, I think you're right! The pics I saw of a Ligne 60 had a hooded nib, but after your identification I searched a bit more and found examples with both #2 and #3 nibs. Sweet!

Thanks for the info and spot on call on this pen.

Must be after 1963e, as the 23 cartridge portrayed in this pen was deployed from then on to early 70s.

 

And I have heard that the 23 actually had 2 business ends, one which fits the current nipple, and one that fits the CF.

Thanks for that link. Now I'm wondering how hard it's going to be to find cartridges, or modify a converter so that I can use this pen.

I'm thankful that it came with a used cartridge so that as a last recourse, I can clean it out and refill it with an ink of my choice.

Not a perfect solution by any means, but workable.
