Hi everyone,
This is my first post here, so let me first say how much I enjoy this site already. There's a very open atmosphere here, which is great!
I was recently given a Waterman #2 Ideal nib to go in a Noodler's Creaper, but I don't think the feed will be able to keep up (it railroads all the time with the stock nib, even after modification). The obvious solution is to get a new feed but 1) I have no money (I was recently given several nice pens which I had to pay customs on), 2) I don't know where to get a feed and 3) I don't know that it'll fit the Noodler. And, to be honest, I'm not sure the Creaper body is particularly fitting for the gorgeous Waterman nib, so perhaps getting a pen without a nib is a better solution? Thing is, I think I'm expected to try it in the Noodler first, but I'm not sure it will work. I want to put the nib to good use though.
Thanks,
Joe
