Waterman Graduated?

[Anderson218]

Hello!

Could you please help me identify this fountain pen?

The cap is engraved with: WATERMAN, MADE IN FRANCE.

The body has a straight, cylindrical shape and a matte metal finish. There is a Waterman logo on the cap finial.

 

My assumption is that this might be a Waterman Graduate from the 1970s, but I’m not completely sure.

 

I also have a couple of questions:

 

• Are the nib and section original? The section is black, while the rest of the pen is silver.
• If the nib or section are not original, could you suggest which model they might come from?

 

 

Photos are attached.

Thank you very much for any help!

My assumption is that this is a Waterman Master (max. diameter of barrel 10.5 mm). I have a Chrome Graduate and a matte metal Master and a matte metal Supermaster; they look alike, but there are differences. The clearest difference is max. diameter of the barrel (11, 10,5 and 9.2, respectively and from left to right, see quick and dirty shots below)

 

The nib and section (and degradation of the section end, often seen in these pens) seem original.

 

Hope this helps...
