CS1078 Conway Stewart No. 75 (Soft Medium Stub)

Date: c1950s

Size: Capped - 129mm, posted - 161mm.

A glossy blue marbled celluloid Conway 75 in very good condition.  Both cap and barrel are glossy, though with the aid of a loupe, I can see some lateral scratches on the cap.  These are unnoticeable without magnification, though and do not affect the lovely, glossy appearance of the pen.  The only other thing to mention on this pen is a small area of discolouration to the cap band.  The chrome plated cap top button holds on the chrome plated "CS" monogrammed pocket clip.  This one has the diamond-shaped end.  There is also a chrome plated cap band.  The filling lever is also chrome plated and has the "CS" monogram within a diamond imprinted onto the circular end tab.  The barrel imprint is nice and sharp and clear and complete.  The original Conway Stewart nib is in a medium stub point.  

I have fully serviced this pen.  The nib is very smooth and writes with a very nice, wet and consistent medium-width line.  The nib does have some softness, and coupled with the straight cut of the nib tip, it will provide for some very attractive line width variation from a fine to a generous broad width as you write.  

A really lovely condition pen and a very good and expressive writer too.
