Can someone please tell me what the difference is between the Icon and the Sterling, in terms of length and weight?

Thank you.

BUMP!!

You just need to wait for Mary Burke to call in, she's probably been busy with the Ohio show.

The information is extremely helpful Mary. Thank you. It would be great if all these stats were detailed for all the CS pens on your website.

Hi David,

I am presently working on including the information and will let you know once it is completed.

Kind regards,

Mary

Thanks Mary.

Just one question: according to your figures the Drake has a significantly longer barrel than the Icon, but is roughly the same length when capped, and has a cap of also roughly the same length. Why is this?

Perhaps the pen goes deeper in the cap when its screwed on.


Greg

Hi,

The gripping sections are different as well as the Drake cap does not taper like the Icon.



Kind regards,

Mary

Mary, isn't the Icon similar in shape to the 100 while the Drake is similar to the Duro?

Very much so, however changes were made to the specifications in order to accommodate the sterling silver and engravings.

Kind regards,

Mary

Mary,

Sorry to be pedantic, but can you give figures for the diameter of the barrels, in millimetres?

Thanks.
