Waterman 52 – Good Flex (On Ebay)
This Waterman 32 is in fair condition. The black celluloid was quite scratched when I got it. Nothing deep, but lots of surface scratches. I have buffed and polished out quite a bit of it, but it still has light scratching throughout. The original clip fell off at some point, and the original rivets are still in the cap. However, at some point someone put on a Rexall accommodation clip. That clip is worn down almost entirely to the brass. There is wear on the lever also. The name “R. Ludeman” is engraved in the side. The nib is a bit unique in that while it has a good, fairly crisp flex, it also feels quite firm when writing normally. That makes small, detailed writing very easy.
