Silver Waterman.
Don't know what model or how old, maybe late 1970's or 80's.
5.5 inches capped. Looks skinny but it's not, the barrel has a nice size.

This pen came to me with the cartridge (lovely long cartridge that holds a lot of ink) rattling inside the barrel.
So I took a spring from one of those ballpoint pens, and drop it in the barrel, put the back of the cartridge against it, and voila!
The spring held the cartridge in place so it can do its job.
The pen is ready to write again.

But the star is the nib.
It is so ... smooth and Broad, and guess what, it has a good flex, the kind that shades the ink, not dump a ton of it on the paper.
Imagine that, a steel nib that can flex:

So what's the price?
How about $35.
