Nib FLEXIBLE FINE gold nib is marked "Waterman's Ideal New York 2." Please see the writing sample below. The point is fine which offers very strong contrast to the flexed lines of the pen. Line variation from fine to a wide broad. Some scarcthes and tool marks on the nib.
Condition Excellent condition. The chasing on the cap is in excellent condition and on the barrel it is a bit worn but still very visible. The color is slightly faded to a dark brown (especially above the end piece of the barrel. There are some little dot scratch marks around the imprint on the cap. There is a short crack on the lip of the cap (see photo), so posting should be avoided. Otherwise, no chips, dings, dents, or serious scratches (very few scratches at all). The imprints are clear.
