Waterman 14

[00Photo]

It's my birthday this month and my awesome wife decided I should have this for my birthday! It looked okay on ebay but once it arrived I was floored. The seller was not a pen person and only gave a basic description. With better photos, a complete description, and a writing sample the pen probably would have sold for 2-3 times what I got it for. EASY. I've never seen such a clean, black, crisp example of pen! Unboxing photos!

Here we have the pen in question and a *ahem* few InCoWriMo supplies from the goulets, everything arrived at the same time!



This looks promising!



Holy Cow!! I was expecting brassed trim and browned rubber. It looks brand new!!!!

Nice nib!




It was sealed tight when I got it.

I kept dipping the nib in water and coaxing it gently, after about an hour the nib finally decided to come out. Then I dripped water down the feed channel every few minutes until the end finally unscrewed after about another hour. I've had pens take me over a week to open up so I was happy when she opened after a couple hours. It should probably take me another week before she's all cleaned out and ready to write. Just in time for InCoWriMo!
