repair parts for a Waterman Ici Et La?

[1pen2pen]

i have a damaged Waterman Ici Et La that my SO would very much like repaired and put back into use.

the section piece is badly cracked and chipped and needs replacing. i can do the work myself but i do need to find a section replacement.

any suggestions where i might find the part?

perhaps other models shared the same part and i could look at those too?

suggestions / recommendations / guidance all welcome.

thank you.

Waterman France sells parts for their vintage models.

The Allure section is the closest to the Ici et La, the Contact section has an email.

 

There are a number of pen auction sites, or auction sites that sell pens, in France, you might be able to find a New Old Stock or even better a user that has cosmetic issues but an intact section.

I need to find them again.

Also, in the U.K, search for stationary stores, small shops that sell a number of office supply goods the older the shop, the better.

 

You might have to call, it will take longer than buying from a link in France but, you might get a bargain because the Ici et La is quite an old model.

 

I believe this is a Montgomery, in the U.S, the site looks old, contacting them via email or trying a phone call to see if they are still in business is a must.

wow! many thanks for the time and effort you put into this @Anne-Sophie. I see some of the prices in France are much better than what I've been seeing here in the UK. very promising!

I had to find out where Pictlandia was, the flag should have been a clue.

 

I understand the importance of a sentimental writing instrument, since the Ici et La was produced in France, the chance of getting parts, one which met the teeth of a puppy, or the fist of a toddler was greater in the country of origin.

 

Since I speak the language, I thought I could help.

 

Let me know how it goes.
