Product Description

| Product Name | Model 52 (marked on the end of the pen barrel) |

| Color | Black chased hard rubber with nickel plated trim. The chasing is only lightly worn and the pen is very shiny and smooth, though the black hard rubber has faded from exposure to the sun. The trim is nickel plated |
| Nib |
The nib is marked Waterman Reg Pat Off 2. It is nicely flexible with a good ink flow, not quite what we'd call full flex but definitely wet and smooth. Good tipping material. The line varies from extra fine to medium. Writing sample below. The nib is in excellent condition with very good tipping material. |

Condition
|
Excelent condition, though the hard rubber is oxidized and you can see the original black color where the cap protected the barrel. No cracks or chips aside form a tiny chip on the edge of the cap. The color is a bit light from oxidization, but generally uniform. The imprints on the barrel is crisp and readable. This pen writes smoothly with a very pleasing amount of flex. The filling system is working well, we re-sac'd it and we'll guarantee it. |
