I have a 58 in the same pattern also. It writes wonderfully. Nice catch!

"how do I know what I think until I write it down?"

Beautiful pen! I've been looking for a CS in exactly that pattern.

 

I noticed a CS 28 in this pattern on ebay at the moment, though it is labelled as a CS 27. It is item No 110586087962

 

It looks exactly the same!

 

The same seller has a CS 27 also in grey hatch celluloid labelled as a CS28. Item No 110586088166

 

They must have got them mixed up. :doh:

Didn't even see this thread til today

I just bought of them by putting in random $50 bids not expecting to win. The seller must have fixed the listings when I bid.

So I got them today and it's not the pens that were mixed up, it's the caps...

The 28 looks good, the 27, not so much

I contacted the seller at the time pointing out the problem.They said that they would withdraw the pens and re-list them correctly but it didn't happen, so it's just as well that you got both and could sort them out. :)

Nice review but I wouldn't consider the 28 a small pen in the overall scale of things.

Thanks for the kind comments. It will not be the last CS that I own. I have to concentrate on my writing as my fine motor control is a bit wonky and things can easily get a bit scruffy. I have always found a fountain pen to help a lot.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
