Hi,
recently, i have found a fountain pen which belonged to my father. I've searched but cannot find any info on it, so maybe you can help me. The text on the nib says : "Waterman Ideal Paris 18K 750 France".

Hi,
Looks to me like a Man 200, slightly smaller than the Man 100 but still a very nice pen.
Man 100s usually have the Waterman globe engraved on the nib, although earlier models were marked with the Centenary dates. The length of the 100 is nearly 5 3/4 inches whilst the 200 is close to 5 1/2 inches.

Hi,
With the name, i made some search and i found some datas for those pens.
Man 100 have a length of 144 mm (caped) and 140 mm for the Man 200. So, mine is definitely a Man 100.
Thank you for your welcome and the fast answer. =)
