Description from the seller
An absolute design classic for the connoisseur and collector.
For auction: a Waterman Le Man 100 fountain pen in very good condition. This iconic flagship model was originally introduced to celebrate Waterman’s 100th anniversary and is renowned for its sublime, hefty build quality and perfect balance.
This specific specimen is equipped with the sought-after early two-tone 18K (750) "Ideal Paris" gold nib and the distinctive finely ribbed ink feed at the rear, a detail that purists and collectors specifically seek for the excellent and consistent ink flow.
The pen is made from a solid brass base, finished with a deep, layered black lacquer that has preserved its brilliant high gloss. Combined with the 23.5-karat gold-plated details (Gold Trim), the pen presents an extremely luxurious appearance.
Main features:
• Nib: Original, tight early-generation bi-color 18K (750) solid gold nib with the classic "Waterman Ideal Paris France" engraving.
• Ink feed: Equipped with the original vintage ribbed feed with the thickness marking M (Medium).
• Construction: Heavy, solid quality (lacquer over brass) with the distinctive, audible and firm click when closing the cap.
• Dimensions: Closed length: approx. 145 mm | Barrel diameter: approx. 13 mm (This is the large, imposing Man 100 version).
Condition of the item:
• Aesthetic: In very good condition. The lacquer has a deep gloss and the gold-plated elements (including the grip rings) show no significant wear or loss of gold (no brassing).
• Functional: 100% working and beautifully writes.
Included accessories (Complete Set):
The fountain pen is delivered as a complete collector’s set in the original, luxurious Waterman 'Ideal' case lined with camel-colored velvet:
• Original Waterman piston converter (already installed).
• Original Waterman Ideal guarantee booklet & worldwide agents list.
• Original box with 8 Waterman 'Florida Blue' cartridges.
