Up for your considerations are two Sheaffers and one Waterman. They are all in near mint condition with minimal wear.

1. Sheaffer Balance II, black, left oblique stub ~ B
The standard black colored Balance II, very classic design. C/C filling and the 14k nib is ground to a left oblique stub by myself. It's about broad I would say, which is too broad for my daily writing. However, it came to me as a failed nib grinding experiment of someone, so this is pretty much the best I can get. Now it writes smoothly and for right-handed users give a very nice line variation. The oblique is about 20 degree so it should fit most right-handed writers fairly easily. I have all the packaging but the box has wear on the outside.
Asking $85 shipped USCON SOLD
2. Sheaffer Imperial, black, factory italic nib ~B
Again a standard black colored Sheaffer. The pen is about 5 inches and is a comfortable medium sized pen. It has a Sheaffer factory italic nib, about broad. It gives great amount of line variation and is also very smooth. However, again too broad for me.
Asking $45 shipped USCON SOLD
3. Waterman Exclusive, 18k F nib
The most colorful one among the three. The long slender body is comfortable to write with and the 18k gold nib is also a joy to write with. Nothing much to be said. Standard C/C filling, lacquer over metal body so this is not a light weight pen. Comes with all the packaging.
Asking $50 shipped USCON
