changing nibs?
Here's a real NOOB question, but here goes:
I just bought my wife a Waterman Phileas, and myself a Waterman Charleston. Can we change nibs on these between the two, or purchase other nibs that we might like better? If so, how do we go about replacing the nibs? Thanks, PU |

If you just bought these than they should be covered. I know the number has been mentioned before - a quick google might bring it up for you - sorry I don't know it off-hand. |

Try 1-800-BEST PEN. If the pens are new Waterman will replace/exchange
nibs. I have had good luck with Waterman in cases like these.

Welcome to the world of PC pen collecting and not necessarily politically
correct. Phileas is a nice starter. So for 25 or so why not buy another Phileas or similar with nib you do fancy. Go higher and you can get genuine Parker 51 from the late 40's-50's in good condition. It will write and write and write. Some folk customize those nibs to extra music . Buy Frank Dubiel's book and other Penography. And of course pens. "PalmUser" wrote in message ... I think the Phileas one is fine (literally) and is the right size for my wife. However, I think I'd prefer a fine (as opposed to the medium that I have) on my Charleston. There's qualitatively nothing wrong with the nibs as far as I can tell.
