Finding Replacement Nib For Waterman Le Man 100, Ideally Stub


islandink

Recommended Posts

Is it still possible to get stub nibs from Waterman or do you know of any other source of replacement nibs for the Waterman 100 (besides random luck on ebay)? I would love to find a factory stub but would also be happy with a medium that could be custom ground to a stub

 

And if so, any idea of the cost? many thanks

Have you tried contacting Waterman's service center in your country?

 

Beyond that, keep an eye on the FPN classifieds and eBay.

As Koyote advised, you could try Sanford/Waterman in your country, but I doubt they will still have parts for that pen left.

Waterman concentrated repairs some years ago to the plant in France, and this now is moved to (or will move soon?) to Poland.

 

Even nibswaps on new pens had to go through France, although sometimes the local branch would just swap a unit with a new pen they had in stock (as has happened to me..)

 

There are companies that still have stocks on nibunits on past models, so you could try to google the internet.

Sometimes shops like Nibs.com carry them. (just checked, not at this moment)

otherwise pm member dboulonnais, he might have some

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

In Spain, "T&t reparaciones" might have some. At least I have bought some from them in the past. Those nibs are not cheap. you know.

      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
