I'm in need of a gold filled globe style lever box that would fit a Waterman 52, 54, or 94.  Please let me know if you have one available!

I doubt if this will help, but I have the remains of a an old 32 ½ that has the lever you require; it's in good condition;  better ask one of the experts around here if it would suit.  On second thoughts, I have an ancient 52 barrel - if I get a minute I'll remove the assembly and see if it fits; if it does, the only problem might be that the lower part of the lever itself may be too short to allow for the thinner barrel.

 

Perhaps you might care to enquire of the experts and PM me if you wish to follow this up?

 

Best wishes

Hullo again:

 

Here two snaps; the second one shows the lever box on a Waterman's 52 barrel - not fully installed because I am not going to be the one that straightens the tags!

Cob, the lever is from a 1/2 sized pen?  It won't work for what I need if it is.

I daresay you're right, I would install it in to the 52 to test it if I weren't terrified of breaking the tabs.  I need to get a mini blowtorch to anneal them.

 

Anyway it was worth a try!

Thanks for looking anyway!  I would just leave the tabs alone til you find a 1/2 sized pen that needs it.

I found the original 52 lever box, and have made a quick phone snap comparing the two. The levers are the same: just drilled differently.

I have learned something today!
