This is a stunning 12 in red mottled hard rubber. Exceptionally well-preserved. Original clip cap which is very sturdy. SUPER Noodle nib. Ridiculously soft flex and dip nib-like line variation. Check this one out.

i agree. the red-black mottled hard rubber was the most interesting and pretty material Waterman ever used. i enjoy seeing the different pens made from it, and collect photos of them. they're so unique from one another in a way that the later rippled ebonite pens aren't.

Amazing pen. Love the antique clip, material and color and of course the nib.

I’ve found that a drop of water onto the nib gets the ink going really quickly. The water just sucks the ink towards it. Guess you could dip the nib after filling the pen to do the same thing but I find it just drips ink splotches
@user-vc8tw9tn9k8 жыл бұрын
Personally, after filling the barrel with ink, I'd twist the upper portion *3/4* of the way in, turn upside-down (nib facing down), and finish twisting the section as such. Ink should flow out naturally through gravity, then. That way, you avoid tapping as you were 5:45-6:05, should you want to preserve the nib as long as possible. That said, it's a very nice pen. I'm probably in the minority when I say I prefer Waterman's 12 series over the 52. Good luck to all the bidders...!

Love the 12's. Have a AA Waterman ripple in the 12 size. I have not found a nib as flexible as this? Did you set the nib & feed? I usually set the nib with less distance from end of feed. Found that minimizes rail roading. Thanks for sharing.

just delightful pen!
@brandonbentley85326 жыл бұрын
I think the ink flow problem at the beginning was the ink not the nib. Many old inks were a lot different then the inks of today but overall a great pen for not a lot of money...

Hi, i love your writing. Do you need some experience to write with a flexible nib? I am pasionate about fountain pens but i've never write qith a flexible nib. Thanks
@marlocieraad94613 жыл бұрын
Hello, hope you don't mind if I answer the question. You don't need 'experience' perse, but not pressing down on the nib too hard (as they are really soft) to avoid springing the nib. If you don't trust it, don't push the nib too hard. Orienting the nib properly when you write, so the tines do not catch on the paper. Ony use pressure on downstrokes for the same reason. And in general just be carefull with it.
