Color Solid sterling silver with 23k plated trim. It has a fluted or striped pattern that runs through the section and the end pieces. Waterman called this pattern Godron in the Le Man series. It has sterling hallmarks on the cap, section, and barrel.
Nib Fine 18k Waterman Ideal Paris nib. It has an F on the feed. It writes smoothly and is soft and springy, though there's no line variation.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen looks shiny and quite nice in the hand, though there are some tiny dings and microscratching. The clip and cap band have microscratching. There was light tarnish and plating wear on the clip and the cap band when we took the photos, but the pen will look better when you receive it. The section has light scratching, and a ring around it from the cap, but no dents or dings. The barrel has some tiny nicks and light scratching. In spite of all of this this, the pen is very attractive and shiny in appearance. This is a gorgeous, impressive, nicely weighted pen. The imprints are clear. In Waterman box.
