Nib |
The nib is marked Waterman Ideal 2. It is very flexible with a good ink flow, what we consider full flex (though definittions vary), but definitely wet and smooth. Good tipping material. The line varies from fine to broad. Writing sample below. The nib has good tipping material. |
Condition
|
Excelent condition, The imprints are crisp and readable, and the color is very good. The major flaw is the missing clip .... the two tiny holes in the cap where it previously attached are crisp and clean. Customers are always looking for a nice Waterman 52 but frequently balk at the prices of the ones with flexible nibs. We've priced this one $50 less than examples with perfect caps. This pen writes smoothly with a very pleasing amount of flex. The filling system is working well, we re-sac'd it and we'll guarantee it. |
