Converters and Spare Parts

Converters

A converter allows a cartridge pen to fill from bottled ink so the owner can take advantages of the many colours available.
Important note: please check which is the correct converter for your pen. We are sorry but we cannot offer refunds since attempting to fit the wrong converter into a pen can damage that converter.

Conway Stewart, Pelikan and Waterman International Size Piston Converters

High quality piston converters for pens that accept International size cartridges, enabling use of bottled ink. We stock three-types:

  • a high quality piston converter fitted as an original part to Conway Stewart pens. This type is a little shorter than the others.
  • a genuine Pelikan piston converter that fits the Celebry, Epoch and other Pelikan cartridge/converter pens that take International and long International size cartridges.
  • a genuine Waterman piston converter for more recent Waterman models. Note that this is slightly shorter and slimmer than the other two converters pictured.

Please also note that these converters will not fit the Conway Stewart Dinkie or Yard-O-Led pocket fountain pens as these models have a short barrel and hence are cartridge only. For other pen models, if you are in doubt, check that the barrel has enough space for the converter before fitting into the nib unit.
