Broken Cartridge/converter Nipple In W. Executive?

Recommended Posts

I just got a used Waterman Executive. It's a gorgeous, vibrant blue, with a nice and soft 18kt nib offering some variation. But when I was trying to insert a cartridge—it didn't come with a converter and I don't have any extra ones lying around—the end was never pierced and it fell out. I believe the nipple that the C/C fits on has been broken off or has otherwise been lost. The nib/feed unit is also very loose.

Question #1: I'm pushing as hard as I can to get the cartridge pierced to no avail. Should I trying pushing harder?

 

Question #2: Anyone know a good place to get a replacement section or a cruddy parts pen for cheap? eBay is the obvious answer, and I'm already keeping an eye on that.

 

Thanks!
