Offered for your consideration is a C. This pen was manufactured in the U. And is typical of the pens offered by Waterman in the mid 1930s.
Deco styling, Keyhole nib and stepped ends. Similar to the 7 Ray series. The lever is also identical to the 7 Ray. Ive been playing with pens for 30 years and Im not sure what model this is. The pen has a smooth Waterman Ideal Fine with nice controlled flex(see writing sample).
The nib is similar to the Brown color-coded nibs. The pen has a visualated area at the neck of the barrel which doesnt really show anything but is a nice design feature. This pen measures a tad over 5.
The cosmetics of the pen is a conservative 7.5/10 with no cracks, chips or other serious damage. There is a bit of brassing to the gold filled trim. The imprint is pretty clear with a tad of blurring to the upper right portion.
The clip has a globe on the top front which has lost some detail if, in fact, it h ad any. The section has a blemish on one side but nothing more than cosmetic. The pen has a new sac and is taking in a releasing water but has not been tested further.It may need further tweaking by you or your pen repair professional.
