Waterman Phileas one color nib vs bi color

Recommended Posts

I was messing around with my pens today. I have a green, blue ,gray and could not remember what nib sizes I had. When I looked I found I have 2 pens that the nib is bicolor and one that is unicolor.
 

Did the Phileas have an option for a unicolor nib?
 

Odd right.

Here is a pic I took now.

I got these 20+ years ago and never noticed until now.

Here is a close up of my 2 medium nibs.  From what I can tell they only used this pattern nib on Phileas pens. 1A33ACD0-CE92-486B-8A86-1E0CD4DBD827.jpeg.c3533bcd435a30dabcc01f775c7687e8.jpeg
I bought 2 of them directly but one of the pens was a gift that same year back in the 90’s.

 

Did they use this nib style on other Waterman pens? and this nib was a swap? or an earlier or latter version? 

 

Any one else have a mono-color nib on their Phileas or is mine the unicorn.

I have seen your two tone nib in some Harley-Davidson/ Waterman fountain pen...if I am not wrong...

Oh wow, I am going to look up images now.

I don’t see the Phileas “fan” nib on the Harley Davidson fountain. Looks like their nibs have Harley logo. If it’s on the pen it’s probably a nib swap and not standard. Thank you for trying.

But in looking for the Harley images I found this gold nib Kultur on the Network.

So I looked up Kultur and These image shows an old style Kultur with the gold nib.

The gold nib comes from the Kultur, mystery solved.

It is not a gold nib but a gold plated nib (so it is essentially a steel nib)

Thank, yes of course not a gold nib. The color in my post was just to differentiate from the usual two tone nib that the Phileas comes in.

      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
