Waterman 3V – Good Flex (On Ebay)
Here is a Waterman vest pen in size 3V in green and red marble. The pen is in fair condition. There are no major scratches and no cracks. The end of the barrel does show some crazing as you can see. The cap is also missing the thin chrome band. The chrome plated clip and lever are in decent condition with some moderate wear. The imprints are all good. The 14kt Waterman #2 is an elegant and smooth writing XF that has medium plus wetness. It is a nice, elegant writing XF that has has some nice flex ranging up to 1.4mm (BB). I’ve graded the nib “good flex” because the ease of flex is a bit more stiff than a super flex grade. Responsiveness is decent and the flow keeps up well.
