CS1160 Conway Stewart No. 84 (Soft Medium)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 119mm, posted - 146mm.

This is a very glossy green marbled '84 with gold veining in very nice condition.  The only damage I can find is the plating wear and discolouration to the shoulder of the pocket clip and the cap top "jewel".  The cap has a gold plated conical top button that holds on the gold-plated washer-style pocket clip.  This has a diamond cartouche at the top with the "CS" monogram inside and another diamond at the end of the clip.  The single cap band is quite wide and also gold plated.  The barrel imprint is still deep and crisp with no appreciable wear.  The short and stubby gold-filled filling lever has a diamond with the "CS" monogram on the small circular end tab.  Whilst most of the pen is made from celluloid, the section is in black hard rubber.  The shiny nib is a Conway Stewart No. 4 in 14-carat gold.  It is in a medium point with a tiny bit of a wave to the tines that does not detract from its writing ability at alll, and is hardly visible.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth when writing and produces a good wet medium width line.  As well as a good size, the nib is also quite soft and springy, and will even give a tiny bit of understated line width variation with no extra effort on the part of the writer.
