What To Get Between Kultur And Harley Davidson

[jws437]

Hello I am trying to get a cheap waterman pen.

 

And I have narrowed it down to those two.

 

But I do not know the difference between those two

 

so I want FPN's advice.

 

As I heard both those pens resemble Philea,right?

 

And that means the nibs are compatible, am I right?

 

I have a laureat so I want to try different nibs than laureat

 

but if there is a difference in those two pens (except some minor apperance)

 

please give me advices , thanks.

Harley Davidson are pens ordered by Harley Davidson, with a motorcycle theme. There are several made by Waterman, but also some by other makers.

The Harleys I have got are both based on the Kultur.

 

And the Kultur is a simplified Phileas.

 

I have no proper Kultur or Phileas myself.

 

My Harleys are good writers and were not expensive.

Harley Free Wheel is a Kultur with a Harley theme. They can be considered another color of Kultur.

 

The Kultur is a Phileas without the brass tube in the barrel or the fan trim at the end. Phileas always have a two tone nib, Kulturs monochrome - either gold or silver colored. Other than the color the nibs are identical.

The L'Etalon nib is also identical, though in 18k (I put one in my Harley Flames).

 

Because of the brass tube, Phileas must use a Waterman converter (or similarly slender aftermarket) while the Kultur can use a generic international long standard size.

Try a Waterman 52.

Try a Waterman 52.

Could you specify why the Waterman 52 is a good choice between the Kultur and the Harley?

 

Thanks

I think the OP will be much happier with the writing characteristics over a modern Waterman.
