Help Please!: Sailor Lecoule - Which Converter & Cartridge?


Arrivistepen

Recommended Posts

Hello Pen People, If I've posted this in the "wrong" area of FPN, please accept my apology and grant me a modicum of immunity for this is my 1st ask for help!

 

Just got an 'older' used Sailor Lecoule, and surprise, surprise, surprise it will not take standard ink cartridges and I cannot identify the model of the converter to buy. This Lecoule was one of a few Japanese pens (Ok, 8) that I bought. Not a large $ purchase, but I want to use this pen! The seller doesn't know, 5 different sellers of Sailor converters (eeebay) simply tell me that the converter they are selling works with Sailor pens, with no mention of the Lecoule. The reason I want to verify the converter model to buy, is that I read (somewhere in the internet ether) that the Lecoule requires a proprietary/unique cartridge/converter.

 

Sailor converter part numbers and descriptions:

 

14-0502-000 Sailor Pen fountain pen ink inhaler converter Slim
14-0500-000 Sailor Refills Standard Fountain Pen Ink Converter

 

Soooo, Since it seems Sailor pens require proprietary ink supplies, that any Sailor converter/cartridge would be compatible with the Lecoule?

THank you in advance for your help!

My Lecole uses the standard Sailor converter. The slim one is only (AFAIK) for a model called Chalana.

 

I rarely use mine - my other (more expensive) Sailors are better writers.

      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
