Patrician Lookalike - The Platignum Supreme

[Silviu]

Just received a Platignum Supreme from the early 30's. It looks vey much like a Waterman Patrician and since it was produced after the Patrician was on the market one has to suspect ....

Here's the capped pen:

And here's the pen after taking it apart. The red colored section surprised me.

As the nib was a mess I also bought some two toned steel Platignum nibs on a cardboard display:

The nib card is a rare find, well done.

A couple of excellent finds. Interesting that the nibs are priced at 5d, as 6d would have been the round figure. Still, every penny counts.

 

How does the nib write?

The nib writes smooth enough, but stiff as a nail!!
