Waterman pen id. Gentleman 1 gen?


Ilya Ro

Recommended Posts

Hello! Can anyone help me id and evaluate this fountain pen, please?

Writing on the cap: waterman, made in France. Plaque org.

Nib: waterman super 6 18 carats.

I have discovered it at home in a box with different stuff from my father after 50 years.  I presume it has never been used. From what I found on the internet(this forum was most informative), it looks like Waterman 1st gen model, from early 70-s.

I know nothing about fp, so your help would be appreciated.

No idea about your pen model but Waterman logo is around 1970's (before 1980 aprox.) so I agree.

On other hand, the cartridge in your pen is the wrong one, it looks like a Parker one. The pen should fit early and discontinued CF cartridges and Converters. Photos attached. Good luck searching !

What a beautiful pen! 

I've got many Waterman's but I didn't know this one.  I've never seen it before.

Now I am interested to know which model it is too. 

Congratulations!

Thank you for your input! I really know nothing about and every bit of info is valuable to me. I checked the cartridge and did not find any info on it. Probably, the original cartridge was replaced with another. It looks like a parker cartridge. I have a spare one. It looks the same.

I am sure you have the wrong cartridges. You must get Waterman CF cartriges that  I attached in early post.

Ok. Is it possible to buy them somewhere? What about the parker cartridge? Are they not compatible?

Parker is not compatible..I am warning that ..search WATERMAN CF CARTRIDGES, I have seen on Ebay, some penshops and converters too.

Original Waterman CF cartridges are no longer in production for a long time.  But I own a Waterman CF fountain pen and found that the short Waterman cartridge, the one used with the Waterman Lady Charlotte fits perfectly well in the CF.

This is a Gentleman 44 gold plated, it's take big double Waterman cartridge, old cartridge or converter (old Waterman converter in steel, bigger than CF converter

Here is the good cartridge, the Waterman Standard

You have all models here : http://www.stylo-plume.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=1323&p=11669&hilit=strong#p11669

The one in black resin with super 6 nib is called Gentleman 21 ; the steel brush is the Gentleman 33 and gold plated is then Gentleman 44

If with Concorde like nib (but bigger then Concorde pen) this is Man 21 or Man 44

Thank you SO much! Finally, a very informative and clear answer! I am going mad trying to find info about this pen. Is it a rare pen? Any ideas of the value?

It's looking as near mint, the 150/200$ for me

No so rare pen, I still have a Gentleman 33 (steel brush) for sale

A most useful thread. I’d been having problems identifying my pen. Now I have the answer. 
Only three more of the pens a friend inherited from his father to identify for him. (And, because I have lovely friends, this is one of the pens that I will be acquiring. Oh, it has an OM nib that is really nice!)

      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
