A very nice Waterman that has nice color and the very desirable "pink" nib. Waterman color-coded this series to indicate what type of nib was in the pen. The "pink" nib is the flexible entry to the series. This pen and pencil are both in working order and are 5 5/8 inches long. The color of the ripple is quite nice and the imprints are crisp. The color band, often found damaged is clean. The only, minimal, flaws that can be mentioned are a bit of gold flaking to the edges of the clip and a snip on the lever tab. The pencil has some brassing to the top edge of the wide band. I might add, that the appropriate 2-band pencils are not often found.
