Beautiful Vintage Waterman 4-Color Ballpoint Multi-Pen - Gold Plated (Made in France) with Original Box
Up for sale is a rare and highly collectible vintage Waterman 4-color multi-ballpoint pen, beautifully crafted in France during the 1960s/1970s. This elegant writing instrument features a stunning heavy gold-plated body decorated with a classic parallel ribbed/guilloché pattern.
The pen utilizes a traditional side-slide selector mechanism via four color-coded tabs (Black, Blue, Red, Green) near the top of the barrel to deploy each respective tip. It comes complete with its original vintage navy blue and cream fabric-lined Waterman presentation case.
Condition Details:
Cosmetic: Excellent vintage condition. The gold plating retains a brilliant luster with minimal micro-scratching or surface wear consistent with handling and storage. No major dents, deep dings, or personalization.
Engravings: Stamped with official hallmarks near the clip and the classic "WATERMAN" branding on the clip itself.
Mechanism: The 4-color selector sliding mechanism operates smoothly and clicks into place properly.
Refills Note: The pen currently houses its original vintage-style metal refills, which are dry due to age. Please note that original vintage Waterman multi-pen refills are no longer manufactured; collectors typically use trimmed modern D1/Lamy mini-refills or simple modifications to write with them today. Sold as-is as a gorgeous collector's piece.
