Greetings,
I'm searching for articles or info about Waterman's keyhole nibs. I have read R. Binder's page on Waterman #5 and #7 for color codes. There are a few scattered old FPN threads featuring collections and sales but nothing new. I'm specifically interested in looking for "Pens For a Particular Hand" by Robert Astyk which had been hosted on the former Lion and Pen forums if anyone has a copy.
I know the #5 and #7 had been color coded but sometimes I see unlabeled keyhole nibs on 1940s models. Is there a major difference between the two keyhole nibs? Also, did other models have keyhole nibs? I have a Waterman's 94 and I'm curious if anyone knows if it's rare or normal. Reminds me, I've seen a lot of sales for BROWN, RED, and PINK nibs but BLUE nibs seem to be uncommon.
I know keyhole nibs are uncommon but is here a specific reason why there aren't more around? Were they unsucessful or just a limited time run? Thanks.
OT: Are special tools needed for restoring keyhole FPs? I assumed they could be restored the same as ... all the other Waterman's lever fillers.
