Hi,

Im pretty new to the collection bug but it as bitten me.....hard.... :)

I got two Watermans(Watermen?) on eBay, new, and have no idea what the models are.

 

One ...the blue one....came in a set with a rollerball, the other silver one single. Both have medium nibs and write beautifully but I'd like to change to a fine nib.

 

I've taken a couple of photos....any suggestions very welcome, and apologies if Im asking something obvious....be gentle, Im new.... ;)post-110936-0-64841200-1399028642_thumb.jpg

Ernst Bitterman Donor Pen

It is a problem when one is on the Waterman forum; the name of the pen is indeed the Waterman Forum.

 

As to how expensive nibs are... you can probably find a donor for not too much, but a lot of these points shed their plating, so you may end up with a somewhat pitted fine point. As an alternative, a campaign of convincing yourself wider points allow ink shading to be seen better worked for me. :thumbup:

      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
