The Waterman Expert Mk.1 was produced, in France, around the late 1980s. This is a mint, boxed fountain pen/ballpoint set with no signs of use.
The Expert Mk.1 differed from the later versions in that it was lighter in weight, an important consideration at the time, had a slightly different trim with raised cap bands, and a much more attractive, sculpted, flat sided, two tone nib with a distinctive elongated breather hole. The original pen, this one, had a relatively short production run and is quite rare and much sought after.
The set is finished in red with a deep, lustrous shine and 23Ct. Gold filled trim. A cartridge/converter filler, the pen is supplied in the original, box, with the unused ink converter fitted, and two ink cartridges.
A Waterman Expert Mk.1 is quite a rare pen and a mint boxed set comes along very infrequently. It is a jewel of a set, outrageously attractive.
