Waterman 52 1/2V – Super Flex (On Ebay)
Here is a BCHR Waterman 52 1/2V. The hard rubber is still very black and the chasing is quite good. Imprints are also very crisp. This is a somewhat unique 52 1/2V in that it neither had a clip nor was ever a ring top. Then nickel plated trim shows some wear, but still looks pretty good. The Waterman #2 14kt. nib is a soft and very smooth writing XF/F nib (0.35mm) and flexes quite easily up to 1.9mm. I did have some trouble with railroading with thinner inks when I pushed this pen a bit, but the R&K Solferino ink I used in the pics behaved superbly.
