Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Whether or not the pen is good, it is still an apparent counterfeit, since the nib is not marked as produced in France. The product image clearly shows FRANCE engraved on the nib, which is the common practice for marking high-quality nibs. The pen I received has no country engraved on the nib. So, I can believe that this pen has been produced by Waterman, i.e. assembled from Waterman parts, including the nib, however there is a good reason to believe that this Waterman nib is produced by Waterman outside of France, and the pen is assembled by Waterman also outside of France. Basically it is not imported from France, and is likely produced for emerging markets. If Waterman has nib versions produced in France but not engraved with "FRANCE", then they should not market its images with such engraving. I am returning this pen.
