CS1086 Conway Stewart No. 28. (Soft Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 132mm, posted - 159mm.

A very pretty and glossy green marbled Conway Stewart.  The pen's condition is excellent - there is some minor foxing to the plating on the filling lever and a little edge plating eear on the pocket clip.  The pen's shape and proportions remind me a lot of a smaller version of the No. 58 pen.  The cap has a conical aluminium top jewel that holds on the washer style pocket clip.  The clip has the "CS" monogram within a diamond shaped cartouche at the top and another diamond at the bottom.   There is also a single gold filled cap band.  The barrel also has a conical shaped end.  It bears a good clear and complete imprint and has a small gold filled filling lever.  This has a circular end tab with the "CS" monogram again within a diamond shaped cartouche.  The black hard rubber section, also undamaged and glossy, holds the large and undamaged Conway Stewart No. 5 nib in 14 carat gold.  This one is a medium point.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth and writes a lovely wet medium line.  The nib also has some softness to it and will give you a little bit of line width variation with no more than normal writing pressure.
