CS1113 Conway Stewart No. 28, boxed. (Fine)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 131mm, posted - 162mm.

A very pretty and glossy green candystripe marble Conway Stewart. The pen's condition is excellent - in fact, apart from a little plating wear to the pocket clip and the filling lever, it looks undamaged to me.  The pen's shape and proportions remind me a lot of a smaller version of the No. 58 pen.  The cap has a conical black 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 fine point.  The original box is also in very nice condition - it is a little grubby on the outside, but no structural damage and it is much cleaner inside, where you will find the original instruction sheet.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth and writes a lovely wet and firm fine width line.  

A sought-after colourway on this lovely pen.
