Filling System: LeverListed here is a vintage Waterman #52 fountain pen right from the golden age of American fountain pens. Waterman was one of the pre-eminent American producers of tier 1 fountain pens alongside Parker. This specific pen features a flexible stub nib, pristine imprints, and the lever system. Yes, I have put a #4 stub nib into a 52 but it just works. The scarce Waterman factory stub nib is the real jewel in this offering besides the incredibly well preserved 52.Good luck!CAP and BARRELThe cap and barrel are in EXCELLENT condition. The trim shows next to no wear. The imprints are superb and show little to no wear. The pen fills easily and smoothly as intended. There are NO chips, cracks, or major scratches on this pen. The original red wax is still present in the model number imprint on the bottom of the barrel.FLEXIBLE Waterman 14K NIBThis Waterman #52 features a flexible number 4 nib thatflexes a smooth STUB. As you can see from the writing sample this nib allows for controlled flex which yields elegant and consistent line variation that is sure to add flair to one\'s writing. The nib is in EXCELLENT condition.
