COMMENTS: Waterman 7 in black celluloid and gold trim. Medium gold band on the cap. "Step" motif on the upper end of the cap. This is an oversized pen with an oversized flex nib. The Waterman 7 series came in a series of red ripple and black pens. The "Brown" keyhole nib stood for "Fine Flexible" in Waterman's official nomenclature. My experience with these nibs indicates there are lot of different attributes among these "Brown" keyhole nibs in terms of flexibility, line variation, etc. This pen is fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal #7 keyhole "Brown" superflex nib that writes an Extra Fine to Double Broad line. This is a factory original nib, not a retipped one. Professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth that glides on paper, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. If it were not for a small area with gold plating loss on the lever piece, this pen would be graded as in near-mint condition. Great celluloid color exterior, perfect barrel imprints, the "Brown" plug at the end of the barrel is in awesome condition as well. couple of small spots of patina on the gold trim this pen would be graded as in near-mint condition. Perfect celluloid color and in awesome condition. Perfect barrel imprints and an overall very clean pen. Lever filler. New sac. Made in USA in the 1930s.
