Please enlarge all 12 photos & read all the text for detail
working vintage (Classic that is in VERY STURDY & Very Good condition - The pen cap & barrel have some fade, yet The Red & black coloring is still very bright & vivid, (This is a Woodgrain Pen, NOT Red Ripple - no warp & no cracks, no personal ...names, the cap threads on securely and post very well- In fact the cap fits & posts on this pen perfectly -
This is a ring top (but missing the ring, so I filled the hole w/ color matched wax), Trim is Gold filled with some brassing on the cap band, but the Lever box is excellent & bright & the section is black, (as I did not have a good ripple section) not ripple as shown
The factory imprints are clear as shown , the "52 1/2V" can clearly be seen on the end of the pen
a very usable a Writing Tool , It is ready to fill with ink & write :-) ~ The lever works very well with the brand new quality ink sac that was just installed , the feed was ultrasonically cleaned - deep ink channel - Good ink flow , Very nice writer.IDEAL #2 New York Nib, 14K, easy Flex (PLEASE SEE THE NIB PHOTOS) the tip is a Fine point, or even finer with a light hand. with Excellent Iridium tipping (See photo) , nice line variation, Flexing from fine point to 1.6 mm possible but I would stay at 1.4mm or below for nib longevity, (Very nice line variation) you will still have control for every day fine point writing with a light hand, When you want some line variation, it goes from a fine point to a wider line as shown with medium to heavier pressure, it has a nice easy soft feel. it will provide excellent line variation & expression.
Great for everyday writing (with expression), for doodling , sketching , or every day note taking and/or expressive letter writing :-) copperplate / Spencerian.The writing sample was made by actually filling the pen with ink & writing with it, The writing sample will come with the pen, The Paper is from a Rhodia Dotpad No. 16, the dots are 5mm apart to help you gauge the line variation. The inks are Waterman South Sea Blue (Inspired Blue) , and Diamine Monaco Red.
SMALLER PEN - The pen is 4 & 5/16" capped. and just under 5 & 1/2" posted - it fits my hand well when posted
