Product Description

Product Name Model 0552 1/2 (version of the 52 in a gold filled finish and slender barrel).
Manufacturer and Year Waterman - circa 1920s

Color 18k gold filled finish in what they called the "Oriental" deisgn. The section is black hard rubber.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE. The nib is marked Waterman's Reg US Pat Off 2. Flexible nib writes from fine to a double broad. Very close to what we would call full flex, but everyone has their own ideas of terms for flex, so please refer to this pen's writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition with only the lightest signs of use. There's just a tiny bit of wear on the lip and the top edge of the cap, and on the "D" in IDEAL on the lever. Very shiny and smooth, no dents, dings, cracks or chips.
