This is a beautiful brushed chrome finish Waterman Expert fountain pen with gold plated trim.  It is in beautiful condition with no damage to report and looks as if it may have only been used once or twice in its life.  The cap has a sloped top button and the signature pierced Waterman pocket clip with the "W" imprinted at the shoulder.  Around the cap lip is a double gold plated band with a black band between.  The imprint is impressed into the upper, wider, band.  The barrel unscrews to allow the fitting of either a standard Waterman ink converter (the original and apparently unused ink converter is included in the box), or a standard International sized or Waterman ink cartridge.  The steel nib is partially gold plated and in a medum point.  The original blue box is also in excellent condition with its white satin lining.  Below the pad is the original instruction sheet and two unused ink cartridges.  The white outer slipcase is also still present. 

I have fully serviced this pen.  It writes very well indeed with a good smooth and wet medium width line.  As is usual for modern Waterman pens, the line is on the wide side of medium.
