Fountain pen - Arbutus

[Ray Singh]

Ok, not a watch, but the closest section to post within.

I bought a Arbutus Fountain pen for Chrsitmas. I purchased this from Amazon and chose this one as it has the look of the Porsche Design weave pattern, but for a much more palletable price.

However,

I now cannot find any ink cartridges to fit this dam pen, so since we have had it, we have not been able to use it. I have tried Mont Blanc cartridges, Parker Cartridges, Cross cartridges, WH Smith own branded cartridges, but these do not fit.

I contacted the manufacturer who tell me that Delta cartiridges will fit, but these seem to be discontinued.

Please can anyone help? Perhaps someone has this pen and has found cartridges that fit or perhaps you work for a Pen company that might know what to supply?

What about a bottle of Quink (or other suitable ink) and a syringe? That's the way I've always filled my fountain pens.

As above, but that would only work if it came with at least one cartridge?

Or try thewritingdesk and ask for a converter.

As Retrorider (above) suggested, i contacted this company: http://www.thepencompany.co.uk/

They were great and sent some cartridges that fit. The ones that you need are called Delta, but Delta dont make them anymore. The ones that the Pen company suggested work a treat and are made by Diamine.

The Diplomat piston convertor also fits and you should by some water based ink suitable for your pen.

This company were great to deal with.
