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 functioning.
The body and cap, made in high-gloss black lacquer, retain an elegant and deep appearance, with good uniformity of the finish. Subtle micro-scratches typical of careful use can be observed, with no cracks, fissures, or loss of material, keeping its structural integrity intact.
The gold-plated elements — clip, rings, and finishes — are in good conservation condition, with present shine and no pronounced wear. Minimal signs of use can be seen in specific areas, in line with the piece’s age, but not affecting its overall aesthetics.
The solid gold 18K nib is in very good condition, properly aligned and without deformities. It preserves its sharp engraving “Waterman Ideal Paris 18K 750” and offers a clean set. The feed is in appropriate condition, ensuring a correct ink flow. The pen has been inspected and is fully functional and ready to write.
The locking mechanism works correctly, with a firm fit of the cap.
The original Waterman presentation box is included, showing 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 both for use and for 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 fountain pen inks, avoid pigmented inks, rinse 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 sunlight and extreme temperatures. Always operate the system gently to preserve its mechanism.
