The tines give under ordinary writing weight, so your line breathes a little even when you ask nothing of it, and deliberate pressure swells it to a 4B, close to a 5x spread from the fine unflexed line. The variation is the fun, forgiving kind; it shows up in your signatures, letter closings, and daily pages without any calligraphic technique behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe imprint reads Hundred Year Pen 17. In 1939 Waterman answered the lifetime-guarantee wars of Parker and Sheaffer by warranting this pen for a full century, and molded it in Lucite before any other maker had put that material on a pen. The 17 was the standard nib of the lineup, dwarfed only by the oversize 18. This one is tuned, heat-set, and writing-tested in a black Nikko ebonite JOWO #6 housing, so any modern pen that takes a #6 unit can host it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraded C for visible use wear, the imprint worn but legible and the nib original and structurally sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTested on Tomoe River 68gsm A5 paper with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heron's Mooncake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142029590716,"sku":"HM2607010","price":325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7435\/7948\/files\/DSC03561.jpg?v=1784308625","url":"https:\/\/heronsmooncake.com\/products\/jowo-6-nib-unit-watermans-17-hundred-year-14k-gold-fm-flex","provider":"Herons Mooncake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
