The Story
Waterman's most celebrated modern design, the Edson is a stunning high end pen which smacks of class and sophistication. Here in the rare to find Emerald green finish whose semi translucent nature gives an aura of harmony and prosperity.
It has a lovely girthy feel, weighty but well balanced, and it looks so very sleek, despite being a truly "oversized" pen at over 15cm. The 18k inlaid nib has been tuned to write beautifully smooth with little to no feedback.
The Nitty-Gritty
There are no major imperfections to note, no chips splits or engravings.
There are some minor marks and micro-scratches on the cap and the cap band, only minor signs of handling, this is a very clean example fully serviced, cleaned and polished and ready to write.
The boxes of Edson's have a tendency to peel their outer layers and become tatty, in the absence of the original we have housed the pen in a satin lined Waterman case and so too fitted the pen with a brand new Waterman ink converter.
Ink Recommendations
