Waterma 52 1/2 – Super Flex (On Ebay)
This Waterman 52 1/2 is made of BCHR and is very good condition. The color is still quite black with minimal fading. The chasing is also quite good and the imprints are very crisp. The “52 1/2” at the end of the barrel still retains the original red dye. The nickel plated lever has very little plate loss that is only visible with magnification. The Waterman #2 14kt. nib is a smooth and wet writing F that has superb flex. It has a great range going from a F (0.4mm) to a BBB (2.2mm). It has a soft flex with good responsiveness. Very nice flex nib on a very nice Waterman.
