Waterman Continental GF Overlay Semi Flex BB LFO	Permalink Closed

I want my clients and friends to be not only happy with the pens bought from me, but to never have to spend another dime on it should it ever give them a problem. All of the pens I restore, sell or trade come with an unconditional guarantee. Simply if it EVER gives you any trouble, a week, a year, 5, 10 or 20 years from now, send it back to me and I will be delighted to service it for you. It is my desire to let everyone know that I stand behind my work 100 plus percent. Please feel free to copy the pictures and listing of your purchased pen for future reference. All of the pens listed below have been fully restored by me and are 100% ready for ink. Free uninsured first class shipping in the US. International first class shipping $8.00 � 335) Manufacturer: Waterman Year of production: Late 1940's early 1950's Country of Origin: USA Model: Based on the Taperite/Crusader line's Filling System: Lever Filler Color: Gold Material: 14K (not stamped if it's solid or GF) Assume it's GF & hope for the best.

There is one TINY & I mean TINY ding just to the right of the clip just above where the ball would be. Imprint Condition: Stamped on the cap lip. The Watermans is strong but the globe is weaker.

(see the pics & video) Comments: I have only seen 2 of these in a dozen years of collecting & restoring. Like I said before I hate the "R" word but I'll use it here. This is a rare pen & man oh man what a superb pen it is! Other Notes: I picked this one up from Tom Weisterich (sp?)/ Penboard.de. Price: $225.00 These are Tom's pics of the pen. MUCH better than I can do. __________________ Tu ne cede malis sed contra audentior ito ~Yield not to misfortunes, but advance all the more boldly against them
