Waterman - Le Man 200 - Fountain pen

The Waterman Le Man 200 fountain pen is in very good overall condition, standing out for its excellent aesthetic presence and proper functionality.
The body and cap, made in high-gloss black lacquer, preserve an elegant and deep appearance, with good uniformity of the finish. There are slight micro-scratches typical of careful use, with no cracks, fractures, or material losses, keeping its structural integrity intact.
The gold-plated elements — clip, bands, and finishes — are in good condition, with shine present and no significant wear. Very minor signs of use can be observed in specific areas, in line with the piece’s age, but without affecting its overall aesthetics.
The solid 18K gold nib is in very good condition, properly aligned and free of deformities. It retains its sharp engraving “Waterman Ideal Paris 18K 750” and presents a clean overall appearance. The feed is in adequate condition, ensuring a correct ink flow. The pen has been inspected and is delivered fully functional and ready to write.
The closure system functions correctly, with a firm cap fit.
Includes the original Waterman box, which shows visible signs of use and exterior wear, such as scuffs on the corners and a deteriorated label, typical of the passage of time.
Overall, this is a piece in very good condition, ideal for both use and collection, preserving the classic character and the manufacturing quality of the Le Man line.

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

Happy bidding!
