Waterman 12 – GOOD FLEX (On Ebay)
Here is a Waterman 12 in smooth black hard rubber with no original chasing. The hard rubber is now a brown. The pen is also missing it’s original clip. Apart from those factors it is in good condition. The imprint on the side is pretty crisp, but some of it is worn. Still easy to read, though. The back imprint is also good. The 14kt. Waterman #2 is smooth writing XXF. The flex on this is on the stiffer side but is pretty responsive. The feed is so juicy that it doesn’t take much flex to get good line variation, especially when the nib is so fine to begin with. It’s vary capable of some really nice flex writing.
