Condition and information:
Offered here is the iconic Waterman La Man 200 pen. This pen is considered a limited edition, it was made to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Allianz company, but also these series were launched to celebrate the 100 anniversary of the Waterman Ideal Pen. The pen is special and unique in many ways. The build quality is extraordinary, made out of thick steel and lacquer finish with all gold plated metal parts, this is a true generation pen, virtually indestructible. The pen is very heavy and a true oversize pen at 166mm posted, all of this gives it a unique feel in the hand and writing balance, it makes for a very special writing. The pen's nib is special as the old Ideal's nibs, this nib is hardly changed compared to those of 100 years ago, they are nearly identical both in design but also writing experience. The nib is flexible, we grade it at semi-flexible but it performs as nearly fully flexible, it can easily write sizes up to BB double broad and even wider. It is smooth on the paper and with constant nice ink-flow. The pen can take any standard ink cartridge and piston converter. It comes with a pack of original Waterman cartridges but also the original piston converter. Very easy to use, clean and maintain, a perfect fountain pen. The pen is in absolute mint condition, never used, comes in its original box and papers.
