| Manufacturer and Year | Waterman - late 1910s or early 1920s |
| Length | 5-3/4" |

Condition
|
Superior, almost mint condition, with very good and crisp chasing. No cracks in the cap. Excellent readable imprints on barrel and barrel end. Just a little brown tinged, not quite pitch black. There is very little wear on the gold filled bands, just a little brassing along the edge of the one on the end. There is a small amount of brassing on the "V.V." clip. This pen writes nicely with an excellent amount of flex. The ink supply system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year. |
