Looking for replacement nibs for my Waterman 515 England #5

[thebruce]

Hi - my Waterman 515 was the first pen i restored and got me into vintage fountain pens. I now have a small fleet but always look fondly on the Waterman. However...while i was able to restore it nicely, i was a newb on nib tuning and bad things happened. In an attempt to smooth out what looks like it had been an architect grind, i went too far and now its a broad without much nib material left...  

 

 

I do love the feel of the waterman nib and pen and would like to get it back into daily use. I've been searching for ways to fix it. The easiest seemed to be finding a donor pen or nib but im not totally sure whats compatible with the 515, or what the nib sizes and types are for vintage watermans. Mine is a "England 5". Iv'e seen others marked W5, W3, W2, NW3, etc. 

Appreciate any of the Waterman pros pointing me in the right direction. Thanks!

I don't consider myself a pro, but Vintage Fountain Pens Parker 51 Duofolds Waterman Mont Blanc - Five Star Pens    has been soooo good to me for parts.. 

they are very nice too and will answer questions you have.
