Conway Stewart Universal Pens

[Shinyblue]

Hi,

 

A 3.5 year old topic but I recently purchased a Conway Stewart International pen, 350 that is in blue (part of pen lot). The bit that was covered by the cap shows the original blue, kind of medium blue, whilst the rest of the pen has discoloured to a light sky blue.

Will add some photos if anybody is interested.
