Beautiful nib. There’s a lot of variety among pink nibs. Some are floppy and flexible, and others can be rather firm. Almost all are very very fine, whatever their degree of flex. Also, don’t be discouraged if you find a pink ripple pen whose pink casein band is more of an orange color - that means it’s original. The color bands that are actually pink, like yours here, are modern reproductions. The original casein bands inevitably crack and chip, and pens are often found with big chunks that have fallen out. Finding an original that is fairly intact, even with surface craquelure, is a plus. Congratulations on a fantastic pen.
This is, without a doubt, the… …second best vintage Waterman nib I’ve ever used. 😂 It’s a wonderful nib, but I’ve always preferred the No. 2 Artists nib I lucked into.
A great pen! Yours is at least a second year, so it's from 1928 or a little later, because it has the very thin white bands on either side of the color band on the cap. A really wonderful example!
I bought something similar from my local car boot market. Different colour but similar design, it's a dull yellow. I also got a Eclipse streamline pencil in brown and gold with thin black horizontal lines. Really nice design.
Love how the nib looks like the piece surrounding an old-style, I want to say old-style but I'm not sure of the proper term, keyhole with a crack in it.
The Great Depression had something to do with it. This pen was made from 1927-1929. Modern pens can flex but these nibs were forged not rolled. They have a nice bounce back!

Nice
Amazing! I love flex nibs! Is this the most flexible nib you have ever tried?
I’ve tried dip pens that were more flexible but this is the smoothest fountain pen I have ever tried

Thank you so much!
@@CraigRoccanova your welcome 🥰
Why are they no longer made? No new nib can flex right.

What is the current most flexible available today?
I’m not sure but it’s something I need to look into!
I made one recently that does 9mm of flex consistantly, with a feed system that can keep up
I think the brand Magna Carta have created a true vintage like flex pen called the Mag600.
hiya! what paper is that? yum
It’s just a Rhodia Dot Pad!
What's price this pen
They go for about $1500usd depending on condition. It’s nearly 100 years old
That flow looks like it comes from a brush
Brother how I purchased it
You have to search via eBay. They come up every once in a while
How and from where to order
They come up every once in a while on eBay. Remember, they are antiques and they usually go for about $1500USD in today’s market.
There are many types of pen online, I don't know which one to take
