Customer Favorite C1930 Waterman #7 Black Celluloid Pink Keyhole Xf-bbb 2.22mm Flex Nib Fountain Pen Restored Instant 60% Discount [rDlY9Rpe]

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Gorgeous Restored Circa 1930 Waterman #7 Jet Black Celluloid Fountain Pen with PINK Barrel Disc & Keyhole NIB. This fountain pen has been thoroughly taken apart, cleaned, and put back together and now is in wonderful writing condition.

Ultrasonically cleaned the NIB, feed, and section. Hand cleaned the inside of the barrel and cap. Cleaned and polished the outside of the cap and barrel. Replaced the old rubber sac with a new, properly sized, rubber sac. Hand polished the 18K Gold Filled Cap Banding, Gold Filled Waterman Clip, Gold Filled Lever Box Assembly along with the Waterman 14K PINK Keyhole NIB. The trim on this #7 has the high-end Deluxe Trim with the Knurled Edging and has been polished brightly to shine again.

This fountain pen is made from celluloid in Jet Black color. The black coloring is a deep black and has been polished to a fabulous shine - it is in incredible condition! The barrel has the imprint at the center of the barrel that reads, "WATERMAN'S REG U.S. IDEAL GLOBE LOGO PAT. OFF. MADE IN U.S.A. FOUNTAIN PEN". The butt end of the fountain pen has the "PINK" disc with "7" imprint. The threads on the cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms on the cap or barrel. There are no repairs, scratching, teeth marks, or damage to the celluloid. This Waterman #7 measures 5 1/2" in length capped and 7" posted. The lever is crisp and clean. The clip and cap banding have been polished to shine brightly and display no wear.

The lever and box assembly has been cleaned and oiled. I have tested the lever filling systems with water and works flawlessly and as it originally intended to.

Here is the "fun" part of this fountain pen. The NIB is the ever-elusive Waterman #7 PINK NIB. The NIB is in wonderful condition that writes so smoothly. When measuring the actual tip of the 14K Pink NIB, it measures at .52mm with digital calipers. When writing the sample in the listing images, the NIB writes with an extra-fine line measuring roughly .39mm with very light pressure and flexes up to 2.22mm with normal to medium pressure; I didn't want to overextend the NIB's capabilities. The writing sample provided was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Black Ink.

This is vintage Waterman #7 Fountain Pen is in ready-to-write condition. I would consider the condition of this Waterman #7 Pink Disc/Keyhole Nib Fountain Pen to grade in Excellent+ to Near Mint. These later Waterman numbered models are increasingly difficult to acquire, especially in this condition. This #7 Pink Keyhole Nib and Fountain Pen is one of the "Grail" pens that collectors desire in this series. A collector-grade writing instrument to add to your writing arsenal collection!
