Please share with me.
To what an extent are the older watermans nibs interchangeable. What will fit in what.

On that topic will I be able to fit a flexy old watermans or Whal nib int any of the modern pens and have the best of both worlds.

another topic entirely how do you adjust the flow???????

Yes please.  I'd like to know how to adjust the flow as well. 

Good question Deon.  Unfortunately I don't know about interchangeable nibs, but I know what you mean about a good flexy Waterman's nib. They're great.

Thats sort of a tough one to answer. Waterman made several different size nibs over the years.

Speaking in broad terms, Waterman nibs will generally swap in and out of various models with little difficulty. Pens like the 52, 3, 32, 94 and the like with nibs in the common #2 size will swap out with little or no problem.

Pens like the 100yr, crusader, commando, 54, 56 & larger size nibs like that will also swap out fairly easily.

If you have a model vs model example I can give you a better idea if it will work or not.
