The 1950s were a bad time for Waterman in the USA, so most American pens were economy models, more often than not fitted with steel nibs. Pens sold by Waterman France, by contrast, were typically metal-covered, and into the 1980s competed in design, quality, and price with such higher-end pens as the Parker 75. is a Waterman C/F Fountain Pen with what appears to be a FINE Point 18K Gold nib, which is engraved "18K - 750". The cap is engraved "Waterman - Plaque OR G" and the barrel is engraved "Made in France". Measures 5 1/4" capped. It has been inked, however no filling system is included. It writes very smoothly.
