I usually buy new pens or quite old pens needing renovation. However, my daughter picked up this Waterman at a yard sale for the princely sum of one cent! It is not a current Waterman, but obviously neither is it vintage. I have guessed that it is from sometime in the 1990's, but that is only a guess. It is French made. Can anyone tell me the model as I have not been able to find it by searching the internet/pen sale sites etc.?

Note that the apparent flats on the gold barrel and cap rings are not real - they are just an artifact of the scanner used and are actually round.

Thanks

Looks like a Laureat. Not a bad deal at all! Congratulations. Enjoy

Thanks for the information - once I had a model name, it was easy to find a photograph. I have not yet tried it out as I was only given it on Sunday, but based on results with my Phileas and Expert, I expect that it will be pretty good and may become one of my rotational pens that I use fairly regularly.

In my experience, a nice pen. Not (obviously) in the same league as the Man100 or the Rhapsody, but take one undergraduate history student of early 1990s vintage complete with limited finance, add black Laureat with a broad nib and you get more than a few essays on 19th century British history...

I had one but lost it the nib on this one was very smooth and quite flexible
