Today I received a pen I recently bought. It turns out it´s a lot bigger and fatter than I was expecting . it´s has a considerable size indeed!!
What do I have here? A safety 14 or a safety 44, or something else?
I would also like to know the production period.
Pen's dimensions
- Big size nib marked 4
- Caped length over 5" 1/2 or 14cm
- Cap posted length is over 6" 1/4 or 16cm
- Barrel diameter is 14mm
- Cap diameter is 15mm
- Engraved in the cap is: Waterman's Pat. April 26 ( not sure of the 6) 1903
- Engrave in Barrel is:
Pat'd1884 May 13. 1899
Waterman's Ideal Fountain pen-
Pen N.Y. Aug 4 1903
Safety pen
Here are some pictures with a Pelikan 500NN and some Waterman 0522 and 0512 near by to give a notion of size.
Thanks in advance
