Waterman Pansy Panel And 54 Ripple

[Shari]

Cutting into the bone here--I am getting serious about reducing my pen collection, and I am offering two superb writers here. Both have flex to spare, and good looks too IMHO. $5 shipping in the US. For shipping elsewhere, please inquire.

The first is a x2 and 1/2 in the lovely Pansy Panel pattern. The nib is glorious (it will polish up easily if you like; I like the patina myself) and full flex, the gold overlay is beautiful. There appears to be a bit of brassing in the globe on the clip, but that may be patina too--I don't want to polish the pen to find out. The one flaw is that the HR has browned a bit. If not for that, this pen would be spectacular. As is, it is merely exceptionally cool. $385

Second is a ripple 54 with a really great flexible nib. A touch of brassing on the thin part of the lever and fading to the HR (quite noticeable when the cap is off), but otherwise quite swell. The ripple pattern on this one is great, and matches right through the section. Initials W.E.H. on the side of the pen, in the same font and size as "Waterman's." The imprints are good. I love this pen. $150

Is is possible that you could post writing samples?

[Shari]

I thought I posted a writing sample, but it isn't showing. Here goes again.

Could you show the WEH on the 54?

The 54 has been sold. Pansy Panel still available.
