Hi All,

 

Was wondering if anyone know the major differences between these two pens, have any hands on experience with them? Are they comfortable to write with over a long period of time? What's the ink flow like? Do the pens skip at all? Are they easy to clean?

 

Kind Regards

 

Ben

The main difference is that the Winston is heavier than the Churchill. Both models are available as c/c, with filling options of twist (captive converter) for the Winston and lever-fill for the Churchill.

 

I'll leave your other questions for owners to give their experiences.

The Churchill is a very big pen and is about 20mm bigger than the Montblanc 149 when posted and is only suited to big hands IMHO.

 

I would also recommend getting the Converter version if its available do a google search for the reason why ;)

Have a look at Mary's pinned link at the top of the forum showing size differential between the pens. Less colors available in the Churchill at the moment, but I prefer them for extended writing because of the diameter.

They are both pretty close in size but the Winston is just a bit heavier. Although the section on both seems to be the same size the Churchill is more comfortable for longer writing periods (could be the weight factor). Both are beautiful pens that write perfectly and never skip.

The Churchill and the Winston models use the same 18 carat solid gold nib, however, the balance and weight of the models are very different.

I have attached a copy of our e-brochure featuring the colour options and comparison for the size and weight dimensions.

If you have any further questions, please do not be shy in asking!

 

This is a friendly forum and we are all happy to help.

 

Warmest regards,

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
