Enjoyed Mr. Holmes this afternoon. Takes place in England in 1947 with flashbacks to post WWI. 1947, Holmes alternated between a couple different dip pens and a fountain pen that sure looked like a recent Waterman(?). Straight sided cap and barrel, split clip that resembled a Sheaffer Targa, but open nib.

IMDb's goofs page claims it is a Parker, but I'd swear the clip was not Parker.

Several on Zoss have opined that it's a Waterman Le Man.  Close, but it has a fat gold ring between the nib and section, which the above pictured pen lacks.  Le Man's gold ring between the section and barrel is fatter, too, IMO.
