Conway Stewart 84

Here is my restored Conway Stewart 84 Marbled Green for your viewing pleasure.

 

 

Apologies for not getting a proper close-up of the nib - I will need to get my hands on a real DSLR (I wish).

 

 

Comments welcome.

Thank you for sharing. Personally, I would love a vintage Conway Stewart lever-filler. Even since before I got into fountain pens, my dad had a couple of dilapidated lever-fillers that were unusable - lever fillers have always intrigued me!

On that note, what is the width of that nib and could we see a writing sample? What size is that pen by the way?

The pen is not currently loaded with ink and I stowed away the photo set. I will have to revert to writing sample in due course. I estimate the nib to be a medium - and it writes a very wet line.

 

The pen is rather short, especially as I do not post it when writing. I have not measured the pen myself, but Jonathan Donahaye's Book of Conway Stewart Numbers lists the pen dimensions as length: 12cm; barrel+section: 8.9cm; cap: 5.5cm.
