Hello Friends.

I'm posting in other threads, too, for some help with ID on some pens I have recently been gifted. I'm still learning about vintage pens and hope to benefit from the FPG hive.

This looks to me, maybe, like a '50's Waterman(s) Commando?

Commando's I can find documentation of mostly have double cap bands, usually gold (or plated?) and were pretty entry-level/bottom of the line pens. This pen has only one band and is not even gold. Have I the good fortune to have been gifted a "below-bottom-of-the-line-pen?" Wow...lucky me!

Regardless, it's a basic lever-fill, and therefore pretty simple - typical of its time - whatever that may have been. With just a bit of cleaning, "sac massage," and "nib-yoga," it's working fine. So that's good.

But still, I would like to know what the heck it actually is...
