Hello all, I have a question about Waterman Le Man 200 cap top. I have just received my third Le Man 200, which I had thought identical with my another black resin one. But I found out that the cap tops or cap jewels are different: the old one is with W and the new one is plain. Also, the plain one has another ring attached between the barrel and the nib unit. Is it quite common to have the cap jewel as plain like my new one? My another Le Man 200 Blue mineral also has W marked on the cap top. Thanks! Minji

Back in 1998 or 1999 I wrapped up a course in computer science. To celebrate, my father-in-law gave me some money with the instruction to "spend it foolishly." Since I always follow FIL's advice, I converted the money to a Waterman "Night and Day" Le Man 200 fountain pen. It's a lovely pen with a sterling silver and black lacquer barrel and cap. Recently (I must have done something I shouldn't have, but I don't know what) I managed to break the inside portion of the section. The feed is fine, and the outer grip portion of the section is fine, but the threaded part that connects the part that surrounds the feed to the part that screws into the barrel has broken, like this: For context, here's the whole pen disassembled: Does anyone have the appropriate part(s) they'd like to sell me? Alternatively, can I swap in the right part(s) from another model? The pen was purchased in 1998 or 1999. The gift box doesn't give a model name or number, but the outer package identifies it as a Le Man 200 "Night and Day" model. Many thanks. I do love this pen and I'd like to get back to using it. -Martin
