Item: vintage restored Waterman Patrician jade green fountain pen
Condition: This pen was acquired fresh from an estate and has been taken apart, cleaned, polished, and a new sac has been installed and talced. The pen has good color and is not discolored to the usual pea soup color most of these jade pens suffered but does have some oxidation on the bhr end pieces. The only real issue I see with this pen is a small name on the side which is a bummer but adds to the pen’s history. ...The clip, logo, cap band, and lever all have good gold tone finish with no signs of brassing. The clip and cap band are not loose and are tight. The clip looks like it has an ever so slightly bend at the midway point from use. I did not want to attempt to straighten it as its hard to see and I did not want to chance cracking the cap or scratching the cap. The nib is the original Patrician nib and is in excellent shape with no cracks and has good tipping on the tines. Im not sure what size it is but seems like a medium fine and has some flex to it. Its no wet noodle but has good line variation. This is a must have pen for any collector of watermans or vintage pens.
