Filling System Eyedropper filling system. We've cleaned and tested it, and it's working very well. We'll include an eyedropper kit and instructions on filling this pen.
Color Black chased hard rubber. 1/2" ornate gold band. No clip.
Nib Flexible gold nib is marked "Waterman's Ideal New York 2." Almost full flex. Please see the writing sample below. The point is medium-fine which offers good contrast to the flexed lines of the pen. Line variation from medium fine to a wide broad.
Condition Excellent + condition. The color is nice and dark, and consistent from barrel to cap. The chasing is really strong on both. The cap lip looks great, with no cracks or chips. The cap band has brassing on the upper and lower edges, and some small areas of plating wear. Still, it is quite shiny and striking. The imprints are crisp and clear.
