    Default Waterman 7, Red keyhole nib, red ripple, excellent condition

    Waterman 7, IDEAL Red keyhole nib

    Pen has no fading to the red ripple body.
    The clip has no brassing, some brassing to the edge of the gold band,
    some brassing to the lever

    The Waterman logo embossing is only modestly deep.

    The ebonite feed is dark red in color
    The "7" stamped onto the bottom is deep and
    still has some original orange color left

    The lever box was repaired by the excellent pen repair
    person at Main Street Pens, Ron Zorn in November 2018
    at a cost of $120. I beleive that the lever box, which is under the lever and
    cannot be seen, was replaced with a reproduction
    lever box. This is something that Ron routinely does

    Asking $460 obo

    Shipping to the CONUS is $9.20 and will be
    packed in a PVC tube for mazimum protection
    mailed in a USPS box which costs $9.20 to ship

    A truly beautiful and iconic fountain pen.
    Could you please say more about the repair of the lever box?? Perhaps provide more specific details about what was done?
    Thanks

    I can't find any emails that go back to when the repair was made. But based on other similar repairs that Ron has done for me, I think that he replaced the lever box, which is under the
    lever and cannot be seen. I think that he uses a reproduction lever box for these repairs
    I hope that this helps
