Waterman was already well on its way back as a luxury pen maker when it created the Waterman Rhapsody. This blue-marble ballpoint was part of the upper tier of pens for the company. We replaced the refill with a brand-new blue one. It writes very well, as the brass-barrel construction of the pen gives it a little extra weight, which helps it write more smoothly. Twist the tail cap to advance or retract the ballpoint. You will find some light wear on the pen but nothing egregious. 14.1cm.
