Waterman 52 1/2V  – Good Flex  (On Ebay)

This a BCHR Waterman 52 1/2 V in nice condition. The hard rubber has faded some to a dark brown, but the chasing and imprints are still very crisp. The nickel plated trim still looks with just a little bit of wear on the lever. Ring top is still in place. Overall, it’s in excellent shape for a pen of this age. The 14kt. Waterman #2 is a smooth writing XF (0.3mm) that is not too wet or too dry. It has some decent flex. I almost called this a super flex, but it just doesn’t quite have the range and responsiveness of a super flex. So good flex it is. The nib is beautiful with light wear, plenty of tipping, and has a soft, smooth feel when writing.
