The Waterman Le Man 200 fountain pen is in very good overall condition, notable 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 in the finish. You can notice slight superficial micro-scratches typical of careful use, with no cracks, splits or material loss, maintaining its structural integrity.
The gold-plated elements — clip, rings and finishes — are in good condition, with shine present and no significant wear. Minimal signs of use can be observed in specific areas, consistent with the piece’s age, but not affecting its overall aesthetics.
The 18K solid gold nib is in very good condition, correctly aligned and without deformations. It preserves its sharp engraving “Waterman Ideal Paris 18K 750” and offers a clean overall appearance. The feed is in proper condition, ensuring a correct ink flow. The pen has been inspected and is delivered fully functional and ready to write.
The closure system works correctly, with a firm cap fit.
The original Waterman box is included, showing 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 piece in very good condition, ideal for both use and collection, preserving the classic character and manufacturing quality of the Le Man line.

Conservation recommendations
For optimal maintenance, it is recommended to use high-quality inks designed for fountain pens, avoid pigmented inks, clean the pen with lukewarm water if it is 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 mechanism gently to preserve its mechanics.

Happy bidding!
