Which Waterman Model(S) Had This Nib?

[Readymade]

Recently found a frankenpen with a large Waterman's nib on it, with a "5" far from the stamping (you can see it peeking out from the section).

 

Which model(s) would this nib have been found on?

I have no reference materials (or pens with this style of nib) with me at the moment, but I can do a little digging tonight if someone else doesn't come along with a solid answer.

The style of the imprint and breather hole feel like 1940's to me. I'm just looking at the nib and trying to picture in my mind what pen would look wrong with that nib on it. For the moment, my best guessitmate is that this nib would have been on an Emblem model.

Most probably the larger version of the Commando and the English 515 / W5

Nice call, rhosygell.

I just looked through about 20 of the various 1940's models, and this nib is an exact match for the one in a largeish Commando.
