For your consideration, we are pleased to offer for sale this circa 1997 Waterman Gentleman Sterling Silver Rollerball Pen, beautifully executed in the classic fluted pattern, accompanied by its original Waterman box and literature. This elegant writing instrument has been carefully cleaned and polished, and a new blue rollerball refill has been installed, making it immediately ready for use. The sterling silver cap and barrel are in superb condition, showing no dings, dents, or repairs. The cap secures firmly to the barrel via a friction fit, just as it was designed to. Accenting the silver body is the striking 23K gold electroplated clip and cap band, both of which display no wear and retain a rich, bright finish. The cap band is stamped “WATERMAN MADE IN FRANCE” and bears the appropriate French hallmark, confirming its quality and origin. There are no monograms or personalizations present anywhere on the pen. This Waterman Gentleman is fully hallmarked on the cap, section, and barrel with French sterling silver marks. While the Gentleman model was officially produced from 1974 through 1997, this example is consistent with a later mid- to late-1990s production. The pen measures 5 5/8 inches capped and 6 1/4 inches posted, offering a balanced, comfortable feel in hand. The newly installed blue ink refill has been tested and writes exactly as expected-smooth, consistent, and effortless. A timeless design from one of France’s most respected pen makers, this Waterman Gentleman Sterling Silver Rollerball is presented with its original box and documentation, both in excellent condition. I would confidently grade this pen as Mint, making it a wonderful choice for daily use, a refined gift, or a standout addition to a serious Waterman or sterling silver writing instrument collection.

The Serial number is IL1558684, GERMANY, and METAL is stamped on the side of the clip – the clip is not sterling. The cap banding is stamped with, “MONTBLANC MEISTERSTUCK”.

The fountain pen has no monograms or personalizations on either the cap or barrel. This fountain pen measures 5 3/4″ in length when capped and 6 3/8″ when posted. I removed the filling system, cleaned the internal components, and greased the piston seal. I also tested the filling mechanism with water and it fills correctly. The Piston Filling System is functioning properly as intended. The Montblanc nib offered on this fountain pen is an 18K/750 Bi-Color NIB that writes very smoothly. The 18K Montblanc Nib writes with a very smooth “wet” line. The nib has a Medium point measuring roughly. 85mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a medium to broad stroke/line. The fountain pen’s writing sample provided in the images ranges from a medium stroke measuring at. 70mm to a broad stroke of 1.00mm with medium to firm pressure when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue-Black Ink. Obtaining one of these Montblanc 146 Sterling Silver and Guilloche Enameled Fibre fountain pens in today’s market can be quite challenging. This writing instrument is in exceptional condition and would easily be graded as Near Mint to Mint.
