I have been keeping an eye out for a vintage Conway Stewart as I am eager to try one and my trip to the UK was preempted by the pandemic. The CS no. 388 is described as small/slim. I am curious if that makes it comparable to, say, a Sailor 1911 S, which fits my hand really well, or if it is narrower, more like a Pelikan 20x. The CS 759 is also described as slim but from the pictures I've seen the 388 and 759 look identical in size, but it is hard to judge width. Any guidance would be appreciated. I don't like super narrow pens because of how I grip them, but I don't care for KOP/Meisterstuck sizes either! Thanks.

In an interesting blog post by UK Fountain Pens the author rates his pens on six (subjective) factors: Rarity Practicality Sentimental Value Writing Experience Comfort and Visual AppealJust sharing FYI as rating my pens is not something I've ever considered doing although I certainly have my favorites!
