Help To Identify Waterman Fountain Pen Please

[Slimfish]

Please can anyone help me to identify this pen.

 

 

The colour is Brown ( mid to dark )

 

Viewed from the top the cap has a pentagonal shape with domed top. As the 5 angles travel down the cap they form a standard cylindrical shape.

 

Cap clip has WATERMAN printed on it.

 

The gold band is 5mm wide

 

The end of the barrel is cylindrical with a pentagonal dome

 

 

The nib displays the words and numbers :

 

WATERMAN

 

14 C/TS ( the TS is underlined and smaller case to the C ) GOLD

 

60

 

Then there is a square upturned shield with what looks like a flower with two side shoots. Either side of this is ‘ L ’ and ‘ B ’. Underneath that is 14 CT

 

 

The pen measurements ( in mm ) –

 

closed length is 134

 

cap 55

 

the barrel and nib 120

 

lower shell 16

 

 

A great many thanks for your time.

Odd, really, ... never seen such a pen.

What kind of filling system is it ?

[Slimfish]

Hi Xof72000

 

Many thanks for your reply.

 

Here are photographs of the filling system

 

 

 

It measures 68mm long

 

Has printed on it :

 

WATERMAN

MADE IN ENGLAND

TO FILL PRESS RIBBED

BAR 6 TIMES

AFTER FILLING

LEAVE IMMERSED

IN INK FOR 10 SECS

 

I have assumed that someone will be able to date this pen from the filling system.

 

Any help will always be appreciated.

I don't have anything but my own observations to support this, but there seemed to be a bit of a panicky spasm of model creation in the 1950s when the US side of Waterman was closing down and it wasn't clear that Waterman-JIF was going to step up as an international player-- pens with odd features that no one can find a reference for, but which are clearly the output of a Waterman factory in England or Canada. This may be one of that mob, although something about the pentagonal cross-section of the cap is trying to force itself into my failing memory...
