Need Help In Identifying Please!

hello!

i was recently given this pen as a gift from a friend. the nib unit is broken and cannot be repaired, only replaced.i took it to a shop and was told it was a waterman L'Etalon . i was able to order a nib from rubbermaid but this is not the pen. they look similar. anyway if anybody can tell me what waterman pen this is i would be really grateful

thanks so much!

Yes, it's a Waterman Etalon, but the cap ring is loose (broken from from the cap) : this part shouldn't stay on the section when you take off the cap but should be part of it :

Wow. Thank you so much. Do you think its repairable? The new nib assembly wont screw on to the pen.

Pull hard on the cap ring to take it off the section, then you could try to put some superglue (on the part where the hatches are) and to put it firmly back into the cap.

Xof72000 you are the best! You were 100% correct. The pen is now working as if it were brand new! It is a mismatch, the nib is silver, pen parts gold but its great. I just wasnt seeing the cap piece, etc. i almost sent back. Im so glad i asked for help. Thank you again!!
