The most popular vintage pen on the market is likely the Waterman 52 with flexi 14k gold nibs. Our smooth, black-hard-rubber version is fully restored with a new ink sac. It looks really sharp, too, with barely any chocolate hazing and crisp imprints. The barrel imprint is weak in the center, but we think that might have been more of a factory thing than wear. No cracks. The clip is a tiny bit sprung and doesn't quite connect its ball to the lower cap. The 52 imprint on the flat tail is still that orange-red color. You will easily write a nice flexi line from a fine line to 1mm wide. 13.5cm capped.
