Found this grey striped Watermans lever fill fountain pen at a local flea mart for under $15. I am having a hard time figuring out the model of the pen. The pen says Watermans made in USA and has some Chinese/ Japanese characters below it. The clip also has the same characters and the clip shape is a similar shape to a Parker arrow one. The nib says 502 and other Chinese/ Japanese characters on it. (See Pictures)
Any help on this pen or any information would be awesome.

Thanks :)

This is as good as detail as I could get.

 

Maybe you could help me out?

Thanks for the pix, but this doesn't look at all like a Waterman FP to me ...

A very interesting pen. Completely schizophrenic. I think it is a Chinese pen made to look like an American pen, without worrying about which make- Parker or Waterman.

For $15, I think you have an interesting item, but you don't have an authentic Waterman pen.

 

Best Regards, greg

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

I've got a Chinese button-filling BHR pen that seems to be trying to look like an Esterbrook J, whose point seems to have a similar impression. I've been told that the impression on the point indicates that it's from the Long Life factory; if that's a brand you've heard of before, you've got an advantage on me. I've got a close-up of the clip, which apparently also says Long Life; do the characters look at all like what's on yours?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
