Waterman 52 1/2 Gold Filled Ring Top (On Ebay)
A great little ring top that is in near mint condition. You can see some small scratches and such from wear near the end of the barrell, but other than that you really have to search for an imperfection. “L.L.” is engraved in nice script on the side. The nib is smooth and very fine. It does run a bit on the dry side, so I would recommend a wet ink for it. The flex I would say is more Medium than Good. It flexes fairly easiy intially, but you have to put some decent pressure to get it’s full range. Still easier than a Noodlers pen (at least mine anyway). The pen is beautiful as you can see and durable and ultra portable. Perfect pocket pen. And with flex, so very cool.
