I really like the aesthetics of the Waterman Serenite pens. I particularly like the sweeping curve of the conically turned hourglass shape. An objective was to learn how to "turn" that shape. The nibs are Bock no. 5. Results photographs follow: I hope to try ebonite soon. Joseph B.

I'm really keepings all fingers crossed that someone here can help me and I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong forum but I've spent a lot of time searching FPN and I haven't been able to find an answer yet .... I bought a fabulous Waterman Serenite Fountain Pen Blue Lacquer & Silver fountain pen several years ago for a very good price because the previous owner had damaged the clear lacquer on the main body by carrying it in a metal pen-holder so there are two small patches opposite sides of the barrel where the clear lacquer has worn or was scratched away. I looked at it under a 20 x lens and the blue lacquer seems fine but the edges where the clear lacquer was chipped away seem to be flaking a tiny bit so I'm wondering if there is any thing I can use to repair or seal the clear lacquer so that the damage doesn't spread ? I apologise for not posting photos of the pen and the damage but I haven't got a good camera and it's too late tonight so I'll try to take some tomorrow. Nail varnish ? Humbrol clear varnish ? Artists' varnish ? Other clear model varnishes ? Automotive scratch repair stuff ? Scratch remover for plastics or acrylic windows ? Automotive clear scratch repair stuff (It's seems like a clear varnish in a pen type dispenser) Any help would be gratefully appreciated !
