Product Description
Type Safety pen in excellent working condition
Product Name So called "Baby" version. 12 1/2 V.S., marked on the end of the barrel. 1 = safety filling system, 2 = nib size, 1/2 = slender, V = short. There was a smaller safety pen made by Waterman, but this is the more common one usually referred to as the "Baby."
Length 3-1/2" capped, 4" posted. This is an extremely small pen, so please don't purchase it without giving consideration to the size.
Filling System Safety filler (we replaced the seals and thoroughly tested the pen, and we will guarantee it to be free from leaks for a year from the date of purchase.)
Color Black chased hard rubber. The color has some fading to a dark brown (especially on the cap). The 12-1/2 V.S. mark at the end of the barrel is in red.
Nib FLEXIBLE FINE Waterman's #2 Ideal gold nib is very smooth. It has lots of tipping material and writes with excellent line variation, almost full flex. See the writing sample below. Note the narrow lines.
Condition Excellent condition for this miniature pen. The chasing looks good throughout. The barrel looks great. The cap has some small bite marks at the very top. Both the cap and barrel have some fading (especially the cap) to a dark brown. This is especially visible in the light. The nib feed has some green tinge along the edges. No cracks, chips, dings, or dents. The imprints are crystal clear and the safety knob turns well.
