Conway Stewart Plumage enamel over engraved sterling silver. These are amazing pens, one of the few modern "high end" pens that are "just right" design-wise in my opinion. If I had a desk job and could use a nicer pen, these would have been inked up long ago. As it is, they're new in box with all associated paperwork, etc. Both of these are a bit unusual, in that they are pre-production color samples. One is two shades of light and medium gray enamel, the other light blue and a cream white. The 18K two tone nibs are a fine and a medium, but I might be able to exert my vast influence with the US rep for CS to get a nib swap for the buyer if needed.... These are pricey, but really, I feel they are one of those pieces that actually are worth every penny. They're like a little work of art you can carry around in your pocket. List price on these was $2030 (apparently, they just raised the list price) I've got these priced at $1450 each.

Next up in the "work of art you can carry around" category is the Visconti Titanic. Although, you'll need a hefty pocket, this is NOT a small pen! Just over six inches long closed, seven inches and a bit posted, and a half inch across the barrel. If you like oversize in your writing instruments, this is the one for you. Gorgeous celluloid, deep blue with bronze marbling, and a neat clip design. It uses the Visconti plunger-vac filling system, and has a nice extra fine nib. Again, this one is new in box, (I have another that I actually use) and it's just hanging around. $600

Conway Stewart Duro Heritage. This is the Duro model, a great size and light weight pen for everyday use, done in black acrylic with engraving on cap and barrel. It's got a broad nib. Also new in box. List on these is $640, this one is $470.

Conway Stewart 100 Lapis Blue. Kind of a cool color, deep blue with muted yellow highlights. It's one of their more "classic" colors, not as outspoken as some! This one has a medium nib and is also new in box. $420. (The Wellington is sold, sorry!)
