I have one of these pens in my collection, from a previous drop. I like its ink capacity, finding the Akashiya brush pen refill, Platinum and Aurora cartridges fit these pens nicely. With larger, tapered international long cartridges (refilled with my favorite ink) these discontinued Queen FPs have a decent ink capacity. I wish there were more nib choices, but I have not attempted to change my nib. Tends to write a little wet, but flows nice with J. Herbin, Parker Quink, Pelikan, Sheaffer, and Lamy inks. The red (which is my FP's color) is already sold out, otherwise I might be tempted to grab another.

EditrixSorry for the delay in response, I just saw this. I have had better luck with cartridges in these pens than I have with a couple of generic converters. With a dab of silicone grease around the nipple, the Waterman converter leaks very slightly and is so far the best of the bunch. I mostly use Lamy international long cartridges trimmed slightly. I have to use a dental pick to pull the empty Lamy cartridge out, but the ink capacity is great. Lately, I have been leaving the stuck-in-place Lamy cartridge and refilling the pen with an eyedropper. Holding the pen upright while I screw the pen back together minimizes spills.

I understand it does not ship with a converter, so can anybody point out which converter fits and is good to use on this pen. Going to try to use a converter rather than a cartridge.
thanks.

I bought the Regal Queen for my wife as a Christmas gift and was disappointed that no converter or cartridge came with it. I ordered the converter from Goulet Pens that was suggested in this thread and tried it. It does fit snugly in the feed, but the handle of the plunger does not fit when the converter is filled. When screwing the body back on it pushes the plunger down, thus pushing out the ink. I have looked inside to see if there is something stuck up in there and it is empty. While the pen is a nice looking pen, I will be very cautious of Regal brand in the future. I am not comfortable in giving it to my wife now because nothing fits in it, this pen is going to end up being a dip pen at best. I know some are hacking some converters/cartridges to fit, but I think that if you are buying a pen that is made recently then it should come ready to write with one form of ink storage or the other. I expect it with some vintage pens, but not this.
Follow up. My wife loves the pen and the smoothness of the nib after I gave it a few strokes across the tuning paper you get from Goulet Pens (can't remember the technical name at the moment.) I previously complained about not having a converter. I ordered one that was supposed to fit, but it didn't. So I would refill a cartridge with my wife's choice of ink. Then one day while cleaning it, I felt something finally move in the barrel. Keep in mind I had tapped this thing a lot to see if something was jammed in there. Well this time a cartridge came out. What looks like happened is the cartridge was put in there had a leak and the ink acted as an adhesive and a seal. After being carried around and used by my wife it came loose. The cartridge that came out was covered with ink. I cleaned out the barrel and tried the converter from Goulet, it worked perfectly. All in all this is now one of my wife's every day carry pens. She totes around 6 filled pens, each with a different ink, in her purse at any given tume.

OrdiedaddyI am very surprised to read this. Even though I have a cartridge in (which is btw is waterman ink cartridge S0111000), I just tried to put that converter into the handle and it goes it so deep thatI don't even see the nose of it. So, it is either the pens are not all the same or your has something in the handle that is not supposed to have. That converter is 2" long and the handle is a bit over 3".
As for the pen, I love it, it sits so well in my hand and has weight, especially when cap in on the handle.

Has anyone actually figured out a converter that works with this pen? I can get cartridges to easily fit, but any converter I try doesn't work sadly.
CORRECTION: I must have been tired, as most of the cartridges I've tried without modification don't work.

Can anyone confirm this converter works with this pen?

I wasn't really aware of the Regal brand before they started popping up on Massdrop, but they seem to have come up with some rather nice looking designs. Too bad they all seem to share the same problem: M as the only nib option. I find western EF nibs a bit too wide for my taste so any pen with western M nib, no matter how pretty, would end up forgotten in a drawer.

AramchekI was reading up on the Regal brand and it seems as if their M nib may be a tad tinier than a regular M nib.
Mind you, this brand seems to be a sleeper brand and I had to dig deep on the Googles to get the information. I'm new-ish to calligraphy and fountain pens and decided to bite at this one as it's cheap enough for EDC/beginners and looks classy.

Some.Random.GuyThe description says "Equipped with a 0.8-millimeter tip, the 18K gold-plated medium nib...", so it may be 0.8mm stub or may be an M nib. The close-up of photo the nib looks like an oblique, so that's probably unhelpful. And at http://www.regaltw.com/shop/queen-boutique-blue-fountain-pen.html - in the details section the manufacturer says 0.8mm writing point.
Massdrop admins - can we get a clarification on the nib? I'm hypothesizing this is a 0.8mm stub and the "medium nib" in the description is a red herring of some sort. If so, what is "medium nib" intended to mean? Medium flex?

Got my pen today, does anyone know what brand I can use for a converter to use my own inks?

LesleaThe description says it takes international cartridges and converters...I just tested an international converter in my Regal James and it fits fine...Enjoy your new pen! -AM

As nice as some of the other colors look, I'm really after the purple. Shame it's apparently sold out.
