Waterman Lady Patricias

[Murfie]

While in a pen photo-taking mood I thought I would take some shots of one of my favourite Waterman models - the Lady Patricia. They are a small pen and I've put a Pelikan M250 (same size as the M200 and M400) in one shot to allow a size comparison. The Lady Patricia needs posting unless you have very small hands.

In the first photo, the pen at top is a 1929 Canadian made one in mist with an ink-vue lever filling system. The lower pen is a 1930's U.S. manufactured pen in moss agate. Both pens have fine 14kt gold nibs that have a good deal of flex in them. Cob will find the mist pen familiar as I was fortunate to purchase it from him at a London Geeks monthly meeting before Xmas last year.

These are really exquisite pens that, while tiny, feel very good in the hand. Both write superbly with a typical rich Waterman ink flow.
