WA730 Waterman Laureat, boxed. (Medium)

Date: c2000s

Size: Capped - 138mm; posted - 167mm

A very attractive slim Waterman Laureat fountain pen in a l;ovely green and black lacquer finish and in excellent, undamaged condition.  The Laureat was a very popular mid-range Waterman model.  It has a gold plated cap top with a gold plated pierced pocket clip that has the Waterman logo at the shoulder.  There is a narrow gold palted band around the cap lip that bears the  "Waterman" imprint.  The forward part of the barrel and gripping section are black, with ribbing to the finger grip which affords a really good positive purchase when writing.  There are a further two gold bands to the barrel.  The end of the barrel is shaped to accommodate the cap when posted.  This pen will accepta standard Waterman ink converter (the original is already fitted to the pen), or if you prefer, you can also use standard Waterman or International sized ink cartridges.  The gold plated nib is in a medium point.  The original box is also in very nice condition.  It is a blue plastic example with a grey flocked interior.  Also in the box is the original instruction sheet.  The white card outer slipcase is also still present.

I have fully serviced this pen. The medium point nib feels very smooth on paper, and writes with a very pleasing wet and consistent line..
