Description from the seller

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a majestic Waterman's 42s fountain pen. This specimen stands out for its impressive and robust construction, entirely in solid 18-karat gold (750), as testified by the visible hallmarks on the cap.
The design features an elegant fluted body with classic vertical lines and a cap crowned with intricate floral engravings on the clip and the cap finial. The pen is equipped with the characteristic Waterman Ideal nib in the shape of an eagle's beak (possibly gold plated, to verify) with its distinctive heart-shaped hole.
A piece of fine jewelry for writing, combining Waterman's craftsmanship with the nobility of gold. It is an indispensable item for collectors or for those seeking a luxury writing instrument of great intrinsic value.
It is carefully packaged in a generic box with tracking number and insurance.
