Hey there
Today my Waterman 32V arrived - another of the pens I got on search for just the right amount of flex. But I digress.
The pen seems to be in overall good shape. The rubber sac is completely degraded and I'm still thinking of a way to get it out there without damaging anything, especially the metal lever. Which also means, that I couldn't test yet how it writes.
When looking at the nib, it looks damaged, bent, or like someone messed with it, though. I have to say this is my first Waterman and one of my first vintage pens ever, so I'm not really experienced enough to make any judgements. The spines look spread apart way too much. Kind of pessimistic about whether it would write or not. I hope it will write, though, because it seems to have a lot of smooth flex.
Anyway, until I can test that myself in a couple of days, can anyone with more experience tell me if that nib is normal, or if something is weird about it?
