Product Name Model 52 1/2 V (marked on the end of the pen barrel). This is the short ("V") and slender ("1/2") version of the classic 52.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in USA - circa 1925.
Length Just under 4-5/16 inches (not counting the ring-top piece).
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Smooth red hard rubber with a 1/8+" cap band..
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE gold Waterman's #2 nib. It's quite smooth with excellent tipping material. It's just about what we would call fully flexible, with easy line variation from extra fine to a nice large broad under very little pressure. See our writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition with no cracks or personalization. Excellent color, and there are only very small spots of brassing on the lever and leverbox. The cap band has some wear on its edge. The pen has been fully restored and it's working well.
