Waterman Deluxe Fountain Pen Ink Piston Converter Gold Trim

These ink pistons are superb for my fountain pens. Always work and easy to reload more ink.

I can't see any "gold trim" on mine but I bought the branded version as I'd received a nice Waterman fountain pen as a leaving present from my last job. Works well, as you'd expect.

The reservoir in one of my pens had ceased to function properly. As it was an expensive, over £75 way back in the 1970's I needed a replacement for it. Very impressed with the replacement as it fits perfectly.

This fountain pen offers excellent writing performance and, with proper care, promises a long lifespan; however, it does not quite match the quality of my Pilot fountain pens, particularly my Pilot Vanishing Point, though I remain satisfied with its performance.

Great item, original OEM item. No leaks or major issues with using in my fountain pen

I had high hopes for this converter, it is easy to install and straightforward to suck up the ink. I thought I would help reduce plastic waste but I'm afraid this will be going in the bin. It leaks horribly, it also turned my fine nib Allure into a sponge, gone were the beautifully crafted lines and hello to the splurge of ink that turned my handwriting into nothing more than a finger painting. Shame really, but I'm going back to cartridges. EDIT: I decided to flush the pen out and used a cartridge for a day, then I thought I'll give this another chance, I didn't fill it so much and with baited breath I once more started to write...this time the ink flowed at a better pace and no longer felt I would be finger painting! A much better result, so I have upgraded my review and am more than happy with this. I can once again reduce my plastic waste and now don't need to frantically scrub my fingers! I'll obviously revise this if anything changes but as of now I do recommend this!

Great item, reminded me of many years ago having a balloon type thing in the main body of the pen only this one is easier and you can see the ink inside it. Brilliant

Personally I don’t get on well with cartridges - and that goes for almost every make of pen I have tried … This adaptor fits all my Waterman pens (so I have several) giving me the flexibility to use any colour I like - not restricted to the two or three made available by Waterman, and must other manufacturers. I also get a better ink flow than most cartridges provide, so very happy with it.
