Nib 14k nib is marked "Watermans IDEAL" and is medium and nicely flexible. (The sticker on the cap identifies the nib as "Flex Med".) If you are looking for flex that is easy to write with on an every day basis, these 1940s Watermans can't be beat in terms of flex-per-dollar. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent, with some general plastic wear and plating wear on the lever and thin cap band. No cracks or chips or bite marks. The nib is in excellent condition with good tipping material. Smooth writing.
