    Great pen I have two pcs. one with 18k nib and one with 14k nib.
    The numbers on it are the individual number of the pen and every pen have unique number.

      Wow! Nice to know that all of them had a unique number. I think that the ones with the 18K gold nib were made for the French market.

      @@ThePenCollectorBogdan the ones with 18k for sure were not as easy to purchase/get as the ones with 14k nibs. The one that I have with 18k nib and at least 3 more that I know the owners here in Serbia and Slovenia were previously owned by high ranking military officers and diplomats of former Yugoslavia...so you can say that they were sort of special fountain pens, not for everyone to purchase...at least in our part of the world....

      @@ThePenCollectorBogdan i always try to get some info about my pens...it is for sure not possible for at least 8 out of 10 fountain pens but for the ones that I know something about thei history, I am 100% certain about it.
      For my Waterman 18K nib C/F i know for a fact who was the owner, how and when did he get it and what important document in history was signed with it...

      I hope you will find a compatible cartridge. If you can see if you can test it's compatibility before you buy it.

    Protopens (formerly Uber Pens) sells NOS Waterman CF cartridges and converters. I'm excited to receive mine (a 1950s model made in the US) but the virus forced our post office to limit deliveries so I've been waiting for 2 months already

    That is a beautiful pen and I'd love to have one. If you have a converter you can just dip it into the ink to fill and then insert it into the pen if you are worried about putting the nib into the bottle.

      Hello! I think it works also with ink cartridges. I've read that the Platinium cartridges might be compatible.

    Mont Blanc cartridges fit in the Waterman C/F as well. Nice tight fit. They hold half of what the original Waterman cartridges hold, however.

      Hello! I am very interested in this pen but have been advised not to buy one because of the cartridge issue. But if the MB cartidges fit it is worth a try.

      If it has the cartridge, you can fill it with a syringe. If it has a converter, you use it by dipping the tip of the pen in the ink bottle, and then aspirate it through the converter. I hope everything will work fine! Enjoy the beautiful pen, and I wish you a good day!
