Waterman 555 Revival

[Yonni]

  After much work and a few new parts, I have completed my "1947" Waterman 555 Brown Striated Lever fill 14k medium/fine Ideal nib....

(What a mouthful!)

  The lever no longer goes crunch-crunch when flipped up, and years of accumulated (bleep) has been washed away, along with what was I'm sure was a prehistoric ink sac.

  I cleaned all the parts with my ultrasonic cleaner, installed the new sac, polished, polished  polished, and now she's done and ready to Rock n' Roll!

Back together and ready for testing

Nice job! Does the Canada nib have quite a bit of flex?

Not sure yet,  I'm going to to som testing this weekend.

I'll be sure to post my results early next week.

 

Cheers

Very pretty pen.
