Vintage Art Deco Watermans Ideal 9k 9ct Gold Fountain Pen Dated 1929 UK Hallmark

Details: Estate item - This great 9ct pen has lain untouched in a drawer for decades - at least 40 years as a result it is in need of an overhaul.
What I know about fountain pens I could write on a postage stamp :) So I will say it as it is and you decide- please do not assume if something is omitted that it is automatically ok ... Ask as many questions as your wish before purchase and please use layman's terms! :)
The measures approx 5.35 inches end to end and diameter of the center barrel is 38mm, it has a lever for the ink, when you gently open it it crinkles and crunches like you are stepping on a bag of chips :)
The only part I could get to unscrew was the actual cap, I do not know if any other parts come off - I didn't want to mess with it.
There are lots off marks - starting from the end which is marked Waterman's, the leaver is marked Ideal - next to that is full FDW hallmark and full UK hallmarks for 1927.
The nib looks to be original no visible hallmarks but it does xray as gold also - maybe the mark is on the part that is unseen.
On the cap there is the 9 /375 hallmark again and along the rim there is "Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen" impressed into the gold.
Please note: The clip is missing on the cap - we do not have it.
Total Weight: 25.80 Grams

As with all pre-owned items there will be some signs of age and use.
Everyone's idea of condition varies we encourage you to enlarge all photo's and ask as many questions as you need before purchase.
