The Exclusive

[Left FPN]

Many do not transact or enjoy the great auction web but it does throw up some lovely finds.

 

This Exclusive has very little wear on the casing and arrived with a rarer Broad (L) nib which I am in the process of transferring to a new grip due to ring corrosion.

 

At £20 is was a bargain.

I just love these pens.

 

The feed and nibs draw out very easily from the grip.

 

This broad has large tipping and, though not bent, does have a wide slit which I have been trying to reduce without much success. Gold can be so hard to work when in this grade and with such little room to over bend. I may well try it back in its original grip to see how it performs before I go any further. Not forgetting the picture is about 20x the actual size.

OOOOOO, Nice looking nib

[Ian the Jock]

Wow

Gorgeous pen force.

How did I not see that?

I have bought all of my Watermans from the "bay" and every one has been a bargain.

 

Yours is a top find though.

It appeared on the bay and I enquired about corrosion to the ring. The seller replied saying he thought it was ink but after closer inspection found it was corrosion...he then offered it to me for £20. I thought about it for a while,1 maybe 2 seconds, before snapping his hand off.

 

Some Broad line indeed and with SOOOOO much ink SOOOOO smOOOOOth.

 

 

 

 

 

also fortunate this week with a pair of Carene's (FP + RB) in SP finish, of which the fp has a butter smooth medium point. Both for £75.

Wow, that's a paintbrush.....

 

Way too broad for my tastes...

 

But it looks fantastic.

 

 

Enjoy, another great find.

Another of the uncommon broads dropped on my door mat today.

 

In Lapis Blue lacquer finish.

 

The section has the obligatory corrosion to the ring but I'm not bothered at £20 which is another bargain. The listing started out at £100+ when I questioned the seller about the corrosion. The seller inspected it more closely confirmed it had and then immediately dropped the price to £65. Over the following 3 days the price dropped £40, £30 and then to £20...at which time I could not risk missing the opportunity to get another 'L'.

A pair of bargains there Force. Like you I'm partial to those Waterman broad nibs - got myself an Exclusive with one at a car boot last year and love it to bits - but yours looks like a BBB (or in French I suppose an LLL!
