Item # W-856 is a Waterman's 52 1/2 V ring
top fountain pen in black chased hard rubber and gold filled trim. It has a lever
filling system and comes with our custom Fine flex nib.
This pen has a sizable split running from the barrel end toward the lever. It
runs 3/4 of the way to the chasing and can just barely be seen on the picture
above. We believe it happened at the time of manufacture because there is red
wax in the split, applied, we presume at that time.
The crack has no effect
on the function of the pen and except for this flaw, the pen is in near mint condition.
It is 4 1/4 inches long and weighs 9 grams. The very flexible nib is more flexible
than any stock fountain pen on the market today. Our Price:
$150.00 |
