Correct Name For A Patrician

[CBNina]

I have the Red Patrician and was wondering what the correct name is - I have seen Man 100 Patrician, Le Man Patricia. Sad that I must part with the pen as it is very beautiful. Plan to sell on Ebay unless you have a better idea. The nib is M 30.

For me a Man 100 is always so beautiful
This one is the Man 100 Patrician Cardinal (official name in the Waterman catalogue in English version). It's one of the three Patrician marketed between 1992 and 1998 what explained the nib of the third generation.

If you are going to sell it on e-bay, be certain that you do not confuse it with the original Patrician.

Can you tell me the difference between my pen and the original Patrician - increasing my education! Thanks. So based on the reply from Nath - mine is the Man 100 Patrician Cardinal in color. You guys are the best!

Wow, that is awesome! Wish I had one but not to sell - I'd keep it.

I'm sorry to be flippant, but every time I see this thread, I think that the proper name for a Patrician should be something like "Claudius Maximus".

Are you addressing me, plebeian?

I think many people get the Man 100 Patrician confused with the Le Man 100. The original pen was called the Patrician.

The Man 100 Patrician was a special edition styled on the famous waterman classic of the 1930's. It was sold in an

unusual and original teak wood box. The photo below shows a Man 100 on top of the wood box that it came in. Notice

the filigree band on the cap? Very unique and an easy way to tell the Man 100 Patrician from the Le Man 100.

 

The difference between the original Patrician and the Man 100 Patrician is that the original had a lever style filing

mechanism. The Man 100 Patrician uses cartridges or a converter.

I must be missing something then cos those that I have looked at have very little in common other than a similar cap band.
