Product Description
Type Cartridge/converter filling fountain pen.
Product Name Phileas.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, France – from the late 1990s or earlier 2000s.
Length 5-5/16 inches capped.
Filling System Waterman branded cartridges and converters fit best but international-style cartridges and converters do work. The pen will ship with an unused Waterman cartridge.
Color Blue Marble. It's a rich blue with black and greyish marbling and gold colored trim.
Nib MEDIUM two tone Waterman Paris steel nib marked M. It's smooth with just a touch of springyness. The nib has no pitting, which is rather unusual for this era of Waterman steel nibs.
Condition Superior condition. The pen has handwear that dulls the general appearance of the pen but it has no real wear. The band at the end of the barrel has a gap opposite the more ornate part of the band but that is original and not a crack ( we see this frequently). No cracks, chips, or major scratches. A few marks on the trim are present. The pen is working well.
