Looking for a spare Waterman Carène Deluxe BARREL

[lfmarsan]

Hi,

I have a Waterman Carène Deluxe in blue which has been engraved by scrapping the lacquer and revealing the brass of the barrel.

I really don't like the engraving. I think I will not be able to find a similar color/finish paint and, even more important, I'm sure I will not be able to apply the paint to the barrel without causing a huge mess.

Therefore, I am looking for a barrel in exchange of mine.

 

Any advise on where to find a Waterman Carène Deluxe spare barrel (any color would suit)?

Would a non-Deluxe Carène barrel fit my section?

 

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

'Deluxe' just means the cap is made out of solid sterling silver. The physical dimensions are otherwise unchanged, so a barrel from a non-Deluxe edition will indeed fit a Deluxe cap. It's actually possible to freely mix and match caps, barrels, and nib units between different Carenes, so long as they are all from the fountain pen version of course.

In a pinch even the barrel from a Carène Rollerball would work, with the caveat that only short international cartridges will fit, barring extraction of the rollerball insert's mechanics by some method.

Thanks for your replies. I'll widen my search to any Carène fountain pen and rollerball, but I've been unsuccessful so far in my quest.
