Condition and information:
The famous Waterman Phileas pen, here in a rare green molten pattern. These are some of the most reliable Waterman pens, great everyday users, high quality build and difficult to damage even if dropped. The pen is very thick, the green plastic is at least 1.5mm thick, and the gold plated stainless steel trimmings are placed just on the right places to make the pen as tough as possible. The pen is also very heavy, more then many steel pens. This is because the pen has a brass base cylinder inside the barrel which provides both strength and balance to the pen. The nib is very smooth, stainless steel two tone gold plated, M size. It is a constant writer, no skipping, and even though M size, it is not excessively wet. The pen also features a spring clip, where unlike other clips that just bend, this one does not, rather the clip is suspended on a spring inside that cap that allows the clip to move up and down. The pen is extremely well balanced, posted or not, it has a superb feel in the hand, grip and writing experience, it is a very thick pen. Mint condition, with minimal to no signs of use, no dings or cracks of any kind or other cosmetic issues. It comes with its original Waterman piston converter but it can be used with any Waterman cartridges. A perfect everyday pen.
