Product Description
Type Vintage pen which works beautifully with a very flexible nib
Product Name Model 3V, as labeled at the end of the barrel.
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA -- 1933-9
Length 4-1/4"
Filling System Lever filler (We have replaced the bladder and it works very well.)
Color Black cap and barrel with nickel plated trim. It has an interesting clip that goes over the top of the cap.
Nib The 14k gold nib is marked Waterman's Ideal with a heart shaped breather hole. The tines spread very easily and has pretty good hairlines. We consider this full flex. See the writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition, really nice, used but not abused. No cracks or chips or serious scratches. The plating is in great condition. (It's unusual to see nickel plated trim this intact.) The imprints are very good. There's some light scratches on the barrel from posting the cap and beneath the threads from capping the pen. No other scratches, dents, or marks. The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year.
