Product Name Model 0552 though the end of the barrel is not imprinted (gold filled #52 sized cap and barrel, lever filler, #2 nib -- all correct).
Manufacturer and Year Waterman, USA - circa 1920s

Nib FULL FLEX MEDIUM-FINE. 14k Ideal nib. Please see writing sample. The nib flexes easily with minimal pressure, but you don't get huge line variation.

No brassing except a bit along the edges of the overlay on the end of the barrel, and on the letters imprinted on the clip. The imprints in the hard rubber are excellent. No dents or dings.. No personalization. This pen writes very smoothly with a good amount of flex. The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year.
