Conway Stewart Duro No 1 or No 2

[mcannad1]

I've been on the hunt for the more rare Duro No 1 or Duro No 2 vintage Conway Stewart Models.  Living in the US it's often hard to find vintage Conway Stewarts for sale.  I had reached out to Stephen Hull, but he is apparently no longer very interested in Conway Stewart pens.  Who are the leading Conway experts or collectors these days who could offer advice on hunting down these more rare models, or perhaps even offer one for sale?

Have a look at Writetime's website.  It is a UK site selling vintage pens.

 

ADDED: I'm not a CS expert.

Definitely best to contact Barry Rose at Writetime as mentioned above. He occasionally lists big Duros on the website, but he is probably the one best placed to source them for you.

Good afternoon,

 

I have a number of Conway Stewart Duro pens including a Duro 2 in MHR, I have circa 300 CS pens. Any Duro Pens are difficult to find wherever you are. My Duro 2 is pictured, it’s in excellent working condition with the correct Duro 40 nib but the imprint is almost worn away, I’m not minded to sell it at present (not a sales pitch) Writetime will not have one. A collector who’s retiring might list one on eBay, you could try Graham Jasper, he does list from time to time on eBay. Some may turn up on UK public auctions but there will be much interest. I know Steve Hull but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have one. I have come across a Duro 26, jet black celluloid with a plain cap from a CS100 a 1950s pen, I though at first it was a Frankenpen but I’ve just purchased another one exactly the same, I wonder if CS had some leftover Duro 26 pens in the 1950s but with no no. 26 caps so used caps from the CS100 as the thread and diameter are identical, had any other person seen one?r
