fairly sure that's what this one is. With ninety per cent of the clip missing, one noticeable ding and a few very small ones - it was understandably cheap - something I bought last year some time possibly because it was glitzy, but I love these old pens and would never pass one by - so much history. This is an old model as probably most people here will know, and goes back to somewhere in the mid 1920s, and so glad I did buy as it has a great flex No. 2 nib from Waterman New York - perhaps later nibs generally being sold on the European market were mostly firm. The body doesn't say whether it's rolled or plated, so unsure.
This nib will tramline if taken to extremes, but will just about make a 2 mm line if pushed, although you wouldn't think so just looking at the point.
My question is ... since presumably not possible to find a period clip, should the pen be left as is - or how about filing off the remnants of the clip and fitting an accommodation clip.
