Crescent filler - Restored with new sac, easily sucks up ink.
Rare 18K Waterman #4 New York Nib - fine point, good writer, good flex, goes from f to B or BB, see writing sample. I would say that the nib is Semi-flexible, i personally like to flex it up to B though you can get BB line also but you just have to be careful.
These 18K Waterman nice were made for the French market from my understanding. Normally Waterman made 14K Gold nibs. Because this is an 18K gold nib, it is a lot 'softer'. Therefore you have to be careful when flexing because applying too much pressure may spring the nib. Because of the softness of the nib the tines can misalign but since nib is soft you can easily bring the tines back together. The nib also has a small ding on tail end of the nib below the '4', the ding is only visible if you choose to remove the nib and feed from the barrel.
Pen is in good condition for it's age without any major scratches, chips, or cracks, but like any vintage pen it may have light scratches/signs of use. There are some noticeable scratches at the grip section.
Pen is missing it's original cap but i have a random cap from another pen that screws onto the barrel and serves to protect the nib and prevents nib from drying.
Nice full sized pen, not pocket sized model.
Asking $118
