Waterman Carene section reassembly

[danielfalgerho]

My Carene section came apart, the complexity seems to require asking before reassembling it. I think I still have the parts in the right order but are there any particular issues to watch for?

They do indeed! Thank you so much OCArt. It is certainly a great pen although it leaves ink on my forefinger. The thought of pulling the nib to address the issue crossed my mind, I may just let it cross. I put an O-ring on the section when I write to keep my finger ink free. Still the M nib show a line variation I really like. The F nib not as much.

I love this pen. Can't beat the looks, unless you hate it. I wonder whether Waterman France ever made much profit on such a complex pen. The small brass parts were cranked out by automated machines but still this is not an exercise in simplicity.
