Can You Help Identify This Pen ?

[kavanagh]

Dear Colleagues,

 

I managed to pick up this Waterman Fountain Pen for about 18 Dollars. At first I thought it was a Waterman Preface - but the nib does not have the usual markings (it only has F stamped on the nib).

Any help on identification will be appreciated. Pictures below

Does anyone have this in their collection and is it a good writer and a keeper ( and is 18 bucks a good price )?.

Thanks guys.

I only know this pen was an economic production line marketed in 1980' years...Sorry..I can not find my old waterman catalogue where it is included..Regards.

For identifying Waterman pens of this era a full picture including the section (ergo, uncapped) is very helpful.

 

Some models looked almost identical but with different sections.

What D.ick said.

The general shape and clip look like that of my Waterman Exclusive, but I don't think it's the section for an Exclusive.

Master or maybe Super Master.

Thank you guys - the pictures are from the seller and the pen hasn't arrived yet.

 

Fergus - I checked up on your 'supermaster' suggestion - and your right, thank you

 

There are comments about this pen that where the black grip section meets the nib, is fragile and prone to cracking or leaks - I hope this isn't the case with the pen I've bought.

 

Does anyone have experience of its writing ability ?.

IF that is TRUE, may I suggest that you start looking for this pen NOW!!. I can't even find something as simple as a nib for a Waterman Laureat Type I pen.

With many of these older models you have to rely on the BIG auction site and buying a complete pen in good condition.

This pen is a master slim the nib is gold plated
