I have a friend with a Waterman fountain pen. She want me to replace the nib for her (pm'ed Lou already about a replacement), but while I was looking at the pen I realized that the quality isn't that great. Doing more research today, I figured out that it's a Waterman Phileas (entry level) Red like this

One thing I noticed glancing at the pen, it's not a solid material. The red/black pattern is wrapped around something and a plastic on top. Just like the snake skin blanks we use around here. The seam was fairly noticable (although she said she'd have not know if I hadn't pointed it out :biggrin: )
