Product Description
Type Lever filling fountain pen, restored and working well with a flexible nib.
Product Name Model 52 V (marked on the end of the pen barrel). This pen is short but the same thickness as the full length 52.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, made in U.S.A. -- 1920s.
Length 4-3/8 inches.
Filling System Lever filler. We've restored it with a new sac and it's working very well.
Color Red ripple hard rubber with gold filled trim (the underside of the lever is marked 8kt Gold Filled), and a medium cap band.
Nib FLEXIBLE MEDIUM Waterman's Ideal gold nib is smooth with lovely tipping material. It's close to what we would call fully flexible, with easy line variation from fine to a broad + under just light pressure, and a bit more under a weightier touch. See our writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition, nearly perfect except for a few small scratches, including one on the cap band, and a small spot of brassing on the ball of the clip. No cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The imprints are clear and the color is amazingly vibrant and clear. The pen has been fully restored and it's working very well.
