Hi All,

I hope you are well....?

I have recently aquired a really nice looking conway Stewart Dinkie - I havent had a chance to photograph it yet.

it has what looks like an old style lever and a ring top. my question is that it is gold coloured, could be plated but I can find any distict markings.

Did Conway Stewart ever make a gold colured Dinkie or is this a pen that would have been modified by someone else? I cant find any references on he net about them.... it does look pretty good...

Look forard to hearing back.

I had thought that Andy, who is a Dinkie / Dandy collector, had posted some photos of vintage gold overlays on Dinkies, but all I can find is some photos of his Dandys - http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/in...139&hl=gold

Hi Guys,

Thank you so much for your responses! I am pleased that the pens I have are not modifications but genuine plated... :-)

Take Care!
