Hey all,

This listing is for a Red Ripple Waterman 12 eyedropper fountain pen. This pen has seen better days for a 110+ year old pen, but it still works. When I received this pen, the clip was corroded, the hard rubber was oxidized, and the nib was damaged. I have cleaned the clip up to the best of my abilities, removed the oxidation to get good crisp colors back, and replaced the damaged nib with another Waterman 14k flex nib. The cap has a chip out of the bottom and a crack at the bottom as well but I can confirm it has not effected the function or seal of the cap. The pen has been pocket carried for 3 days to ensure everything functions well and it does. Ultimately I wouldn't daily carry this pen unless it was kept on a desk due to the age or if you live life on the edge, I'll never understand eyedropper people lol. The nib has excellent flex and paired with this pen, it writes extremely wet when flexing. When using Waterman's Inspired Blue in the writing sample, took over a minute to dry. Due to the issues this pen has, I am listing it as PARTS grade. It still functions fine but I don't feel right trying to justify a different grade. Here are more details on the pen:

I tried my best to list everything about the condition but if you have questions, please message me. I want to state again, this pen is listed as a parts grade due to the details under "Condition". Make sure you are OK with that before purchasing the pen. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
