Waterman's With #5 Nib

[Beechwood]

Sorry this is not my brand. Had a call from a friend who is in Porto, whilst looking in a second hand shop he has seen a black lever filled Waterman's, curvy section and Number 5 nib. He thinks its all in good order with a nice crisp indent, no scratches, stepped clip. Needs a new sac as you might expect.

 

Sounds to my uneducated ear that it might be 1930s, could that be right? The seller wants the equivalant of GBP30.

 

Any idea of the model?

A number of models sported that nib. Can one try it out?

It sounds a good bet.

Thanks Sid, I dont think that trying it out will be an option, I have the impression that this retail establishment is not too hot on the customer experience being more dust and donkeys than Bloomingdales.

 

 

He says the nib looks straight and there are no obvious cracks or parts missing, the #5 nib sounds attractive, the pen is around 5 inches which I think may be on the large side for the era.

Maybe a 515.

if the nib is a decent size 5 then you almost cannot lose at £30

 

I would put your money on this rather than on Spurs to win the Champions League :-)
