Up for sale is a beautiful vintage Marquis by Waterford fountain pen in a rare and highly tactile textured burgundy finish. This piece is an excellent collector's item and a fantastic daily writer.A standout feature of this particular pen is the "W. GERMANY" imprint stamped clearly under the gold clip. This historical marking places its production right around the late 1980s or very early 1990s, just prior to German reunification. During this era, Waterford contracted its fine writing manufacturing to premium West German facilities renowned for their exceptional engineering and craftsmanship.Product Details:
