Vintage Waterman�s 52 1/2V.
While I don�t know a lot about the details and history of the pen I can tell you it has some really nice flex abilities and the flat feed keeps up nicely. 52 is the pen size, 2 stands for the nib size and the 1/2 means it is a slim pen. The �V� stands for its small size. Made of hard rubber with a 14k fine/flexable nib. It was made approx in the 30′s. That�s about all the details I could dig up to share about it.
While the nib is a bit scratchy at times it is a fine writer and with some time and patiance I have learned to control somewhat the strokes and pressure it likes and dislikes. Fun to write with for sure but it�s small size for someone who has larger hands, like me, it can be a little tiring after a while.
