Product Description
Type | Vintage pen set which works beautifully with a very flexible nib, with matching mechanical pencil |
Product Name | Model 3V (the barrel is marked "Thorobred," which is a different model with the exact same barrel as the 3v, so we are confident calling this set a 3V.) |
Manufacturer and Year | Waterman - 1933-9 |
Length | 4-5/16" |
Filling System | Lever filler (We have replaced the bladder and it works very well.) The pencil takes 1.1mm ("thick") leads. |
Color | Grey with red veins. The trim is chrome or nickel plated. |
Nib | The nib is marked Waterman's Ideal 14k with a round cutout. It is very flexible with a good ink flow ... and a lot of symmetrical tipping material. Fine point, flexes to broad. No quite fuil flex, but it flexes easily. |
Condition
|
Excellent condition, some light wear on the caps bands being the most significant shortcoming. No cracks or chips or serious scratches. The plating is very good on the lever and clip. The imprints are very good. This pen writes very smoothly. The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year. |
