Hi everyone,

 

I'm still a fountain pen newbie, and I had a question about a Waterman pen! The grip seems to have been worn out and damaged, but I'm not even sure if the pen is in working condition, or what I can do to start it up or fix it, so any help is really appreciated!

 

I've taken a few pictures to help, but if any more are needed I can definitely take more. I know it's a Waterman, and it must have been a promotion with Courvoisier, judging by the name and logo on the pen. I tried searching the internet, but I couldn't find anything about the pen. The nib is very nice and looks to be in pretty good condition so I'd love to get it up and working if I can!

 

I wasn't able to upload the photos directly to my media, so I hope a Photobucket album is okay.

Thank you!

Hi, I am going for a Master. The Super Master had a slotted clip.

 

Interesting nib, as many have no markings whatsoever.

Oh wow, I think you're right! I looked it up and they do look exactly the same! Thank you for your input.

That is interesting about the nib... it feels nice and springy and I'd love to be able to use it... I just have to figure out the first step to getting it working again!

I very much doubt you will find a section alone that you can change the nib out with so you will probably have to buy a complete pen. I have never removed a Master nib from a section so others may have to comment on that aspect. Ernst is the man for this.

The point and feed are a basic friction-fit. I was able to draw the ones on mine quite easily, but that might be partly down the to slight disintegration of the plastic at the front of the section....

      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
