Hello everyone
Up for sale is a Red Ripple Waterman 54 lever-filler fountain pen from the second part of the 1920s / early 1930s + matching mechanical pencil.

The pen is in good working condition as it has been restored with a new ink sac.
I tested it over the last week and it does not leak, does not skip, does not blot: it does its job reliably.
The mechanical pencil seems to be in working condition but it remains untested as I do not have leads for it.
Features:
- A 14 C gold #4 Extra-Fine nib. It really is a wet and smooth writer that is capable of producing nice line variation.
- Tines open up nicely under pressure and offer nice vintage writing experience.
- Please see the writing sample below. It is not a wet noodle, not even a full flex nib but a springy one that is a joy to use.
- Original ebonite feed in red ripple colour.
- Gold band on the cap.
- No cracks, no dents. The pen shows some signs of use: clip is somewhat loose and there are microscratches all over the pen.
No box or papers.
I tried my very best to make decent photos+video of the set, Please check them as they are part of this offer and are the best way to describe the set.
