    Default Waterman 52 red ripple

    Waterman 52 from 1920s, red ripple, nice looking pen
    The band has some brassing on one side, see picture
    the clip is in excellent condition. Shiny gold, no brassing
    The lever has no brassing but has a few worn spots. One above the
    round Ideal part. Not on the printing so the Ideal looks great and
    one is on the lever

    I have not used this pen in a long time so In testing the pen for sale I*
    noticed that it started out fine but became hard starting and the ink flow will stop. It is fairly
    wet when writing.*
    It looks like the tines need to be moved closer together
    I am not much of a nib-meister so if you can fix this problem,
    you can pick up a relative bargain

    Free shipping to the CONUS, anywhere else, just ask
    $160 obo

    Your ink flow is stoping because the tines aren’t touching at the tip. I can see it from the pictures. It’s an easy fix, but if you don’t have much experience with adjusting nibs I’d just let it be and let the purchaser do it.
