Nib Type: Med. Flex B-BB Imprints: No Length: 5”
PRICE: $620
COMMENTS: Waterman 5 in black celluloid and gold trim. "Red" plug at the end of the barrel and matching "Red" keyhole nib. The Waterman 5 "colored" series cam with different colors. The "Red" meant "Standar-Medium Flexibility" in Waterman's official model nomenclature and advertising. My experience tells me there was huge variation in terms of nib flexibility and line variation among these colored "Red" nibs. The Waterman 5 series is a full size pen in terms of length. And it is significantly wider in terms of diameter than a standard sized pen. They offer great balance on the hand. Black "step" profile on the end of the cap. Fitted with a 14k Waterman Ideal Keyhole "Red" medium flex nib that writes a broad to double broad line. This is a professionally adjusted nib, ultra smooth, and capable of writing at any speed when not flexed. The iridium tip in this nib is very rounded and it is a great candidate for someone who writes fast all the time, to an over writer or to someone who rotates the nib in relation to the writing direction. Very forgiving nib when not flexed. Very clean trim with very small spots of brassing. A highly desirable pen with an even more desirable vintage flex nib, especially in this condition. Lever filler mechanism. New sac. Made in USA in the 1930s.
