First Dip In The Pool
Well I purchased a Waterman Crusader from Peyton Street pens. My first Waterman and first gold flex / semi-flex nib. Birthday present to myself.
The things that appealed to were the smooth comfortable section area. So many of the vintage gold nib pens have a short uncomfortable looking section with threads hard up against it. The nib has a good amount of tipping material with some flex to it being a requirement. And of course it is a Waterman, a lever filler from the 1940's. Looks are not a requirement for this purchase though it isn't a bad looking pen. Cap has a good bit of plating wear.
I want to get into restoration a bit myself. But first I thought it good to handle and use a working vintage pen to see what I am aiming for in the long run.
