I noticed in a review of the Visconti Rembrandt pen that it was stated that a Waterman converter would fit this pen. Has anyone else had any success mating a converter to this pen? I know the Visconti converter is threaded. It would make sense it would fit their own pen, but one cannot assume. Any chance the Visconti converter works in the Rembrandt?

 

Thanks!

I'd ask Bryant. I haven't see any of these pens. However I have 7 Carenes and the Waterman convertor is proprietary with a non-standard narrow part where it connects.

As I understand it, the Visconti converter will fit the Rembrandt, but wasn't included as to keep costs down. Personally, I think not including it was a bit of a mistake; if they had just used the ones in the Van Gogh Midi pens, it would have been fine. :headsmack:

 

But I second double checking with someone like Bryant!

The person who sold me my Rembrandt tried to attach the threaded converter to it and would have included it complimentarily if it fit. There was no problem with an unbranded (and unthreaded) converter intended for the generic replacement of universal cartridges.

hi there. i have a rembrandt (you were probably refering to my review). when i was looking thru the sites to buy it, i read in one of them that it takes the waterman conv. mine is fitted with a generic converter i had laying about and have been using it since i bought and have had no problems.

 

i read at the coloradopendirect.com that these are cartridge fitted only, but obviously this is not the case.

 

speaking of waterman, my phileas converter doesn't fit, tho'!

      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
