CLEANED, LUBRICATED (fountain pen specialty silicone oil + amorphous silica) & TESTED Perfect gift! Dear future buyer, This piece is ready for use, thank you! This is a special variant of the famous Waterman flagship C/F model, in heavy gold plating. This midcentury design gem comes with an 18K gold nib in Fine impression, writing with it being exceptional! Waterman is one of the best niche fountain pen manufacturers offering pieces that last for centuries and continue to outperform and rival top luxury brands. As a vintage objects collector myself, I made sure you will get a fully functional and complete piece of art, using my extensive knowledge and handling them with care, as I would do for myself. I will never give away something I wouldn't want myself, even more so since everything here is part of my own collection. Please Note: - The back panel is meant to safely hold the pen during the photo shoot. - The shipping will be done by courier, with the best protective packaging, insurance and a tracking code, as I would do for myself Thank you. Happy holidays and happy treasure hunting!
