Maker: Aikin-Lambert
Apart from the impressions on barrel and clip, the only substantial difference between this and the Waterman 52 is the way the lever is mounted– unlike Waterman’s lever-box, this mechanism is rather more like older Sheaffers, with the lever held in by a pin driven through the barrel, although it works a pressure bar very much in the Waterman pattern, without a j-bar or spring and relying on the sac itself to return the lever to starting point. I expect that it was trying to make up for the (justifiable) perception as a lesser marque than Waterman by appealing to patriotism with a model name like that.
Production Run: Uncertain, but likely to have started after Waterman’s purchase of the company.
Size: 13.6cm long capped, 17.3cm posted.
Point: 14k gold.
Body: Black hard rubber.
Filler: Lever, capacity approx. 1.5 ml.
