Nib Flexible Waterman's Ideal nib. See writing sample, below. Line variation from fine to broad, almost full flex.
Condition Excellent + condition. The silver filigree is in fantastic shape with just some microscratching. The hard rubber under the sterling silver filigree is uniformly faded to a dark brown color. The section and end piece look great, with dark black color. The section does have horizontal capping lines and the end piece has a little area of scratching (looks like pin pricks) just below the silver. There are no cracks, dents, dings, chips, or major scratches. No personalization. The imprints are all crystal clear.
