| Manufacturer and Year | Waterman - circa 1920s |

| Filling System | Eyedropper (We tested the pen and it works very well.) We will include an eye dropper so you can start using it right away (provided you have some fountain pen ink). |

Condition
|
Excellent condition, though the color is a little faded. No cracks in the cap. The chasing on the pen is a bit worn, a little more so on the barrel than on the cap. Readable imprints on barrel and barrel end. The cap bands are in excellent condition with only a small amount of brassing on the high points. This pen writes very smoothly with an excellent amount of flex. The ink supply system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year. |
