Waterman Patrician Cap - Retail

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I need a cap for a Waterman Patrician (if possible in BHR, but also may be in Celluloid). I would also buy an pen for restauration, so I can use the cap to complete my pen.

 

Please make an offer!

Hello,

 

I was recommended to aks for someone who offers to repair the cap - lip.

 

At least one fissure goes under the golden band, so in Germany nobody risks to repair.

 

I add a picture.

Most repairmen with a lathe can carry out this repair, cost around £30gbp, given the pen is black celluloid.

Thank you for your information.

 

I've asked several repair-experts. But they are afraid to destroy the cap, because the fissures go under the ring., I have postet a picture above. can you repair it?

Hansjürgen,

There are always some risks the cap would crack doing this kind of repairs on old brittle materials

Important questions :

1-is the cap made from black Ebonite or black celluloid ?

2- How deep from the lip edge of the cap the inner threads start?

Hello,

my Waterman Patrician BHR now has been restored.

Francis adapted an existing celluloid cap, so that the Patrician has an intact cap again, even if is now a mix between BHR and celluloid.

 

Now I habe polished it and it looks attractive. I' ill show a photo later.

Thanks to Francis and thanks to everyone who advised me.

But I have another question: Does anyone know, when the material was switched from BHR to celluloid?
That must have been before 1929 / 30 or was it produced in parallel?

      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
