Does This Pen Have A Name?

[ppdiaporama]

Hi

 

I've had this pen in my collection for 6 or 7 years ... I wouldn't have called in a collection back then! I purchased it from eBay for about 10$. It's a pen that I carry around in my pockets from time to time.

 

It's a Waterman, it's by no means an expensive pen ... but I'm still curious to know ... does it have a name?

 

Thanks! Pat

Interesting pen.

I know I have seen it before, peculiar clip, but I can't remember the name....

Thank you both for your reply!

That's interesting - I have a number of Reflexes, but not with that semi-hooded cutaway nib styling. Mine also have a small metal ring where the barrel meets the section, and don't have the "screw thread" element. In all other respects, especially that very odd clip, and the tapered body, they are the same.

 

Does anyone have any info on the two different versions of the section - and why and when Waterman made the change?

The section may be missing its band which can be seen on this pen.

There is a Reflex, Purple Maroon colour, on the bay right now, that also misses that band AND has this type of nib. So maybe it is not missing the ring after all and is this as it should be on this version?

Nath only shows the full nib-with ring on her blog-site.

I have a green Reflex just like the black one. An OK pen.

Perhaps the semi-hooded wing nib is first generation Reflex and open

nib second generation....That's my swag....
