Waterman 3V – Super Flex (On Ebay)
Here is a Waterman 3V in black hard rubber. The hard rubber has faded to a dark brown. The chrome trim has some scratching on the clip and the band. The lever looks pretty clean. Side imprint is readable, but the imprint on the end of the barrel is worn off. This pen did not have any chasing on the hard rubber originally. The 14kt. Waterman #2 nib is a nice, smooth writing XF (0.3mm) that has good flow but is not overly wet. It has some pretty good flex that ranges up to 1.6mm (BB+). The flow keeps up well and the nib has some pretty nice responsiveness. A nice vintage pen in “vest” size.
