AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A0000004540

The Waterman Le Man 200 fountain pen is in very good overall condition, standing out for its excellent visual appeal and proper functioning.
The body and cap, made of high-gloss black lacquer, retain an elegant and deep appearance, with good uniformity of the finish. There are light superficial micro-scratches typical of careful use, with no cracks, splits, or material loss, keeping its structural integrity intact.
The gold-plated elements — clip, rings and end pieces — are in good condition, with shine present and no pronounced wear. You can observe minimal signs of use in specific areas, in line with the piece’s age, but not affecting its overall aesthetics.
The solid 18K gold nib is in very good condition, correctly aligned and without deformations. It retains its sharp engraving “Waterman Ideal Paris 18K 750” and offers a clean overall appearance. The feed is in adequate condition, ensuring proper ink flow. The pen has been serviced and is delivered fully functional and ready to write.
The closure system works correctly, with a firm cap closure.
Includes original Waterman case, which shows visible signs of use and exterior wear, such as corner scuffs and a deteriorated label, typical of the passage of time.
Overall, this is a pen in very good condition, ideal for both use and collection, preserving the classic character and the manufacturing quality of the Le Man line.

Maintenance recommendations
For optimal maintenance, it is recommended to use high-quality fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, clean the pen with lukewarm water if not used for a period, dry it completely before storing, and keep it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always operate the mechanism gently to preserve its mechanics.

¡Buena subasta!
