WATERMAN 42 SAFETY PEN- Art Deco enamel decoration
Facetted overlays are typical of the 1930's and in many cases their decoration patterns express the spirit of the time.
This Waterman 42 with facetted overlay has got an abstract geometrical decoration in green and black enamel on the cap, which is a typical expression of Art Deco's rigorous geometry and contrast of color.
The pen is in excellent condition with no dings nor damages.
There are some minimal traces of soldering at the end of the clip, where the small sphere is attached.
The turning knob has the Waterman logo plus the CD winged logo belonging to the Italian official agent for Waterman. This special logo was registered to guarantee the full originality of Italian Waterman overlays against counterfeit overlays.
The nib is a very nice Waterman nr. 2 with long tines which writes very smoothly and offers a very pleasant level of flexibility.
