Product Description
Type Safety pen in excellent working condition
Product Name So called "Baby" version. 42 1/2 V, marked on the end of the barrel. 4 = safety filling system, 2 = nib size, 1/2 = slender, V = short. There was a smaller safety pen made by Waterman, but this is the more common one usually referred to as the "Baby."
Length 3-7/16" capped, 4-11/16" posted. This is an extremely small pen, so please don't purchase it without giving consideration to the size.
Filling System Safety filler (we replaced the seals and thoroughly tested the pen, and we will guarantee it to be free from leaks for a year from the date of purchase.)
Color Red ripple hard rubber. Two thin gold bands on the barrel, an uncommon embelishment. These bands are hallmarked and they may be gold, but we can't make out the hallmark.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE Waterman's gold nib is very smooth. The feed is also hard rubber, so it may be original to the pen. It has lots of tipping material and writes with excellent line variation. See the writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition. The pen is nicely colored, neither faded or darkened significantly. The imprints are clear and the safety knob turns well.
