Waterman - Le Man 200 - Fountain pen

A0000004540

The Waterman Le Man 200 fountain pen is in very good overall condition, distinguished by its excellent appearance and proper functioning.
The body and cap, made of high-gloss black lacquer, retain an elegant, deep appearance, with a uniform finish. Light surface micro-scratches consistent with careful use are visible, with no chips, cracks, or material loss, and its structural integrity remains intact.
The gold-plated components—the clip, rings, and trim—are in good condition, with their shine intact and no significant wear. Minor signs of use may be visible in a few specific areas, consistent with the pen’s age, but they do not affect its overall appearance.
The solid 18K gold nib is in very good condition, properly aligned and free of deformation. Its “Waterman Ideal Paris 18K 750” engraving remains crisp, and the nib is clean. The feed is in suitable condition, ensuring proper ink flow. The pen has been inspected and is delivered fully functional and ready to write.
The closure system works properly, with the cap fitting securely.
The original Waterman case is included. It shows visible signs of use and exterior wear, such as scuffs on the corners and a deteriorated label, consistent with the passage of time.
Overall, this is a pen in very good condition, ideal for both use and collecting, retaining the classic character and quality craftsmanship of the Le Man line.

Care recommendations
For optimal maintenance, we recommend using quality inks specifically made for fountain pens and avoiding pigment-based inks. Rinse the pen with lukewarm water if it will not be used for an extended period, dry it completely before storing it, 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!
