Hallo all

 

In the topic "Collecting Conway Stewart", the vintage 58 was recommended.

 

In the Conway Stewart bankruptcy auction, I picked up my third 58. I was a little surprised to discover that it differed from my other two. My two originals both have three narrow bands on the cap, but the third one (which was found in the Conway Stewart factory) had one broad band on the cap.

 

Is the difference significant?

Hello Chaim.

 

Good question.

 

I too have a 58 with a wide cap band, but I am suspicious about the authenticity of mine. The cap doesn't seem to screw on quite right, which usually means that the cap is not original. What about yours? Does the cap screw on as well as your other two 58's?

 

Also, the 58 is well known for its triple bands. Why would you change that?

 

I think that the cap (on the one I have) is a replacement, and possibly comes from a 60.

 

Best wishes,

Malcolm

      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
