| COMMENTS: LE Waterman, oldest of the
Big-4, produced a huge array of overlay
pens.
The 0552 1/2V
effectively is a LEC (lower-end-covered) model,
but this size does not receive the LEC marking as this is implicit to
overlays of this size. Found in gold filled, sterling and solid
gold
overlays, these are the entry point to overlay Watermans. With GF
overlay the pen is model 0552 1/2V. If sterling, it would be 452 1/2V.
Solid gold would be 552 1/2V Clean set. No dings. 1mm or so of plating loss by the breather holes from ink exposure. Crisp metal, especially the fragile knurled butt end. Killer high flex nib (goes from fine to triple broad) with ink flow that keeps up. |

Solid gold packs the 552 1/2V imprint. This 0552 1/2V features the Pansy Panel pattern, a mix of flowers and lines. The cartouche is unengraved. There is a smidge of brass around the top edge of cap and some wear/speckling to the knurling at bottom of pen (posting wear). Nice writer, with mild flex. | |||

| COMMENTS: Waterman hard rubber 52's are highly collectable. Value ascends from smooth black to chased black to woodgrain to ripple and finally to cardinal red. The solid-gold-band variants are well less common than typical gold-filled. this one shows bit of oxidation to the rubber, but has smooth clean finish. Decent not perfect imprint. Nice writer with bit of flex. | |||
