Waterman 52 1/2V – Medium Flex (On Ebay)
This a BCHR Waterman 52 1/2 V in decent condition. It has browned some. More of a dark chocolate color. The chasing is worn but visible. There are some scratches here on there on the body. The imprints are all pretty crisp. There is some plating on the lever box, but the lever itself is in pretty good condition. The ring top is also missing. The flex on the nib was kind of difficult for me to grade. I would have like a bit more ease in the flex, but line variation is till decent. And it has very good control as you can see. So it’s somewhere around medium to good flex. The nib is nice XF writer.
