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 fairly smooth but still visible. The imprint on the side is barely visible. The “52 1/2V” is worn but readable. There is a little bit of plating on the lever box, but the lever itself is in good condition. The ring top is also missing. Another nib that was difficult to grade. I would say it’s either a high end “Medium flex” or a low end “Good flex.” The nib is very smooth both as normal writer and in flexing. A great little portable pen.
