Just bought a fixer upper on ebay..... liked the colour !
But I have no idea what model it might be (until it arrives hopefully) or what type of clip it might require ?
Hopefully the photos will ensure someone out here can advise me.

The photos are as supplied by the seller. Hopefully when it arrives I'll have one or two better ones.
Regards everyone.

Thanks David
Is the top fitting clip similar to a Lady Patrician clip ? And more importantly do you know someone who might have one !!!

I have a 4.21" long Waterman with similar proportions marked "32-A-V" on be barrel end. It has a short clip, 0.92" long, that would leave a similar 'hexagon' if removed. It also has a nice flex nib.

Thanks Ron.
Well I've been out into googleland and at least now I've seen the clip I'm missing. Hexagonal shaped space in the top of the flat section and a couple of holes in the short clip similar to one on an Esterbrook.
Okay..... so where do I find one.... ? !!!!!

You'll see that finding one is easier than removing and installing one.
Donor pen is the only source I know of.
I might be tempted to have an old riveted clip (from a donor pen) installed and patch the holes in the top.
Nice pen, nice plastic. A little small, but probably, really, not worth the work and effort to replace the clip. I hate to say that, but I fear it is the case.
