I just picked these up in the market place here and I am not sure exactly which ones therse are. Could someone ID them for me? I bought the last three pens in this photo.

I plan to do the restoration and post end cap rebuild myself. I will show some photos when I am done. (Oh, and if anyone has a good photo of one of the ends un-damaged it would be of great help!)

Well, it's the Waterman forum, so I am guessing Firefyter means the last three writing instruments, the Watermans laugh.gif

Oops! Forgot to answer the OP's question... embarrassed_smile.gif

I am guessing that they are: a Waterman Hundred Year pen or Emblem pen (the pen that is 3rd from the right) and a Waterman Taperite (2nd from the right and extreme right).

Well, yea... I was talking about the last three Watermans!

Do you really think that the third from the right is a 100 year? The band is not like any of the ones I see on Richards site. (I have been looking too) It seems close to the last year "100 year" from 1943, but the centerbands are not even close. In fact, they do not match any of the "100 Year" pens.

On the set, I did see that Taperite pen and I thought it may be just based on the cap, but I have not seen the set uncapped so I can view the post end.
However, I do agree with this as the set is just like others I have seen now. Although, I would still love to see a close up shot of the post end.

I posted my post above after midnight local time and basically didn't have the time to do the research to determine which one it was..... so I wrote "Waterman Hundred Year pen or Emblem pen" (my emphasis) and just kind of threw it out there for someone less sleepy to figure out laugh.gif

I'm checking for more info online and in my books now (that I am fully awake wink.gif )....

Edit: Found a Waterman Emblem pen that resembles the pen above here: http://www.nibs.com/WatermansWritingImplementsPage.htm
(it's near the very bottom of the page)
Same two-thin-banded cap rings....

Thanks, after talking to a couple people and Rick, this may be a No.4

Here is a photo of the nib, this may help too!

The taperites can be a bear to get apart. They are nice writers when you get them going though.

Thanks for the warning! Any tips I should know? (I have refurbed quite a few pens, but not messed with the Watermans before)

Just a bump to add a photo and link to the repair forum. I said I would post a finished photo, so here you go!
