Aa Waterman Id Help

Recommended Posts

I've always wanted an AA Waterman. I found this one in a junk pile the guy was selling for a whole lot less than anything else I'd seen. The nib says "2-14." The cap has two holes on the top, leading me to normally believe a clip has been pulled off it, but I did not think clips were built into caps back then so I have no idea. It is a push on cap, which also surprises me. The section does not appear to come off. The back of the pen unscrews, but it is reverse-threaded. It does not unscrew off, but only to the length I've gotten it to in the pic. The imprint says "self-filling" but no idea what the self filling mechanism is.

This was a pen I was probably going to make as one of the ones to give to RonZ at the Ohio Pen Show to work on, but I was wondering if you could give me some more info on it first. Fill system? Quality, marketed towards, etc. Not intending on selling it, so don't really care that much about value at this time. Thanks

These are the two A.A.Waterman i have. The badly oxidized one with the New York nib looks to be a similar model to yours. Although the patent line in mine also has the Aug 31,15 date as well. I have no idea if the clips would have changed between these two dates :(. I would highly suggest sending the pen to RonZ or any reputable repair person with experience in repairing A.A.Waterman twist fillers. I have had one pen broken so far :(

 

I don't know much about these pens and i'm sure some one here would be able to point you on the right direction. And best of luck getting your pen repaired :). They do have rather nice nibs,

"2-14" on the nib may be for "No2 - 14k"

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
