Product Name "Gold Corinth". This is one of our favorite of the metal capped Watermans. There's a great write-up on the Pen Hero website.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA, circa 1955. (This version of the Gold Corinth appeared in 1955 ads, with this specific cap a change from the earlier Gold Corinths which had a wider band.)

Filling System Lever filler. Restored and working well.
Color Black barrel and section, gold-filled cap.
Nib Ideal 14k Flexible Nib. Gives line variation from fine to broad. See writing sample.
Condition Excellent condition for this beautiful pen. The section has horizontal capping lines and some small bite or tool marks. There is also light to moderate scratching on the barrel, particularly the front portion where the cap lip contacts it. The cap has some touches of brassing. There is some small dots of pitting on the cap band. The clip also has plating wear and brassing along the edges. The lever has some plating wear and bubbling. The barrel has light to moderate scratching. The imprint is slightly worn, but is still easily readable.
