The photos above are of the actual pen we are offering for sale here
Dating from the early/mid 1950s, this is a Conway Stewart 58, a largish pen (13.0cms capped), in green candystripe with gold trim. This pattern can also be described as lined green and black marble
This is fitted with a 14k gold stub nib which produces a vertical writing line of around 0.9mm (broad+) contrasting with a horizontal line of around 0.4 (fine)
The stub nib is a broad nib which has had the front edge ground flat - a little like a rounded italic or the tip of a very blunt wood chisel. It gives a thicker line on a vertical downstroke and a thinner line on a horizontal stroke. The line width differentiation is less marked than with a normal italic
This has been lightly used is in good overall condition with a crisp barrel imprint as shown in the photos
This fills from an ink bottle using the lever on the side of the barrel and does not take cartridges. We have serviced the pen which includes fitting a new ink sac
Condition B/1 Stub - (Ref 13367)
See our Condition Grading Scale
We have fully serviced this pen which includes disassembling the pen and ultrasonically cleaning all the parts. We then reassemble the pen and fit the correct size of new ink sac, check the ink flow and the smoothness of the nib. We also check and adjust the tightness and positioning of the clip.
This pen comes with our normal 12 month warranty. We keep a detailed record of each customer's purchases so if you need to call us, we will have all the information here to answer any query
