Manufacturer and Year Waterman - circa 1925

Nib The nib is marked Waterman Reg US Pat Off (we can see the nib number is 2). It is a stub/italic cut that is also nicely (but not fully) flexible with a good ink flow ... and a lot of tipping material. Unflexed, you get a nice hairline on the horizontal stroke and a medium on the downstroke. Flexed, the line varies to broad. A really hard to find and desireable nib.
Condition Superior, near mint condition, like we rarely if ever see. No cracks or chips. No brassing. The color is excellent. The imprints are crisp.
This pen writes very smoothly with a very expressive result The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year. We replaced the bladder.
