The nib only got a M marking nothing else, the guy who sold it to me said that it's 14C solid gold.

 

Best regards.

It may be an upscale variation of the Super Master, although with a body like that it might have another name; I've never seen one in which the cap engulfed the joint quite like that.

 

The point is likely to be plated steel rather than gold, though-- it looks exactly like what I'm used to seeing in the Super Masters. The similar but slightly larger point on the older Master had the gold content indicated on it, and Waterman has never been shy about saying something is gold when that's the case.

Ernst is most probably correct. From the section it's from that model line and while the catalogue I have only shows the lacquer models it states available in medium and fine only. The pens shown have are circle around the root of the split and there are no nib markings.

 

So what is this then.

which means there were other variations of the theme.

Thank you Ernst and Force for replying,

 

This one was a set with a ballpoint pen, I just bought the fountain pen, and also the guy had another one which was gold plated, but asked too much for it so did not get it.

 

Best regards.

I just found this on ebay and it's exactly what I have, this says gold filled but the images show no markings about it, mine doesn't as well, so I can assume mine is also gold filled body and cap?

Oh, nuts. Someone one eBay using me as an authority? Haven't they seen the horrifying lack of citations on my site?!

 

It certainly looks like the same thing as yours, but without some reference to an impression indicating it's gold-filled (and if yours doesn't have it, the eBay one probably doesn't either), you're probably best to assume it's plated until someone discovers a good catalogue reference to that trim.

      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..

      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
