A gorgeous vintage Wateman’s 52 in BHCR.

The chasing on this one is very crisp and the imprints are very clear. The ebonite has retained its deep black colour, it has been polished to a very glossy finish. The chrome trim is in good condition too. It has got an adapted chrome clip. Condition Rating [B]

The nib is one of the best. A 14C gold nib that starts with a nearly needlepoint line, very elastic, beautiful snapback. It doesn't flex like crazy wide but it's the dream kind of nib you actually want for very contrasing line width. It has got the right amount of elasticity that the modern nibs lack. The feeder is made of ebonite and keeps up with the ink flow perfectly. Please see the writing sample video (keep the audio on for the ambiance 😊) and photos here:

The pen has been serviced recently and a new ink sac installed. The nib has been inspected and tuned to give a nice writing experience.

Please Note:

I am a medical doctor by profession with a full-time day job. I do this purely out of passion for fountain pens, specially vintage flex pens. I can safely say that I understand flex nibs and have owned a lot of them over the years.

If you have been looking for a vintage pen with a flex nib, please drop me a text. If it is not this particular pen, I might be able to find the right pen at the right price for you as I am trimming down my massive collection.

Many thanks.
