Waterman 52 – Medium Flex (On Ebay)
This is a BCHR Waterman 52. There is browning to the hard rubber. The chasing and imprints are still visible, though worn. There is a crack in the cap that has been partially resealed (see pics). There is some wear to the nickel on the clip and lever. The nib is quite smooth both in normal writing and flexing. The flex has the ease of a “good flex” but the snap back isn’t quite good enough to be called a good flex. Still it is a great nib.
