Help Me With My C/f?

[ProfChallenger]

I've been lurking on this forum for a couple of years, and have only now come across a pen I couldn't quite place. It fits most descriptions of a steel-nibbed Waterman's C/F, but there are a few discrepancies I can't quite resolve. Namely, the cap - the steel-nibbed C/F, in most examples I've been able to find online, has a chrome-plated clip attached with a single visible rivet. My cap doesn't have that rivet. It looks a lot like the higher end caps, which made me wonder if I had an unoriginal cap. However, I couldn't find any examples of pens other than the steel-nibbed version that had chrome-plated clips like mine does.

 

My question to you all here is: does this change anything else about the pen? Were any C/F's issued with white-metal plated gold nibs? Have you seen anything like my description before?

A picture would be of inestimable value. ;-)

For sure! Just went and shot these two photos. My pen looks a lot like the example in Richard Binder's reference pages, shown here: http://www.richardspens.com/?page=ref/profiles/cf.htm. However, his does have the visible rivet.

 

-edit. I'm figuring out how to add photos correctly. I'll add the right ones in just a few minutes.

-edit2. I've figured it out. Here are the photos:

I can't spot anything anormal with your model : it's just a first price CF (the range of models and prices was very large on this pen).

Oh, then I guess I was making a mountain out of a molehill. I haven't seen one of these in person, and haven't found many in the wild before. Thanks for the information!
