Nib EXTRA FINE FLEXIBLE Waterman's Ideal 14k nib. Line variation from extra fine to medium. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a small, beautiful pen with great shine and pearlescent coloring. The barrel has light to moderate scratching (mostly near the end). The cap has light to moderate scratching (especially near the top of the cap). The lever looks good with some polishing marks but the gold is intact. The cap band tiny scratches all around. The clip has plating wear along the edges and a small splotch mid-clip. The top gold piece has brassing. The (painted?) black ring around the top of the cap has lots of little scratches. The imprints on the barrel have some fading, but they are readable.
