Waterman Ink Vue Lady Patricia – SUPER FLEX (On Ebay)
This is a pretty Waterman Ink Vue Lady Patricia. The Waterman Ink Vue filling system is kind of between a Waterman lever filler and a Parker Vacumatic. The pen is the same size as a 3V. There is some wear on the chrome plated trim mainly in the form of scratching, but the plating is still there. Barrel clarity is still good (that’s the feeder tube you can see in the barrel), so in the light you can see how much ink is in there. Imprints are still very strong. You can even still make out “Waterman” on the bottom of the feed. There is light scratching throughout the body of the pen, but I have buffed much of it out. Also there is some color fading in center, partly transparent section of the barrel. The nib is a smooth XF with about medium wetness. It’s also a super flex nib and has a great range up to 2.1mm.
