If you want to get into fancy Spencerian script or other handwriting styles, most vintage pen fans will tell you that a Waterman 52 is the ultimate pen for your collection. Our black hard rubber favorite has some heavy wear on its chasing and imprint, but it remains structurally sound without any cracks. We restored it with a new ink sac and a replacement 14k gold Waterman #2 nib. You will write a very nice extra-fine line that can flex to about 1mm wide. This is not a wet noodle. You will need to "learn the nib" with slow gentle pressure. Yet, it will write beautifully for you, once you've mastered it. Click the headline for close-ups. 13.4cm capped.
