Conway Steward Churchill Parts?

[ggrosjean]

Hi.

 

I am in need of a part for one of my CS's, the sleeve fitting for the nib and feed. It's the screw in version and I have had no luck to date so any assistance is appreciated. I love the pen and it was one of my everyday rotation until the leaking started owing to a crack in this sleeve.

 

Thanks,

So the nib and feed are OK, but you need a new collar (sleeve)? This is a standard Bock part, but you will need to identify which version as Conway Stewart used 2 types during the lifetime of the Churchill models. If you post a photo of the feed I'll try to identify it for you.

 

HTH,

Thank you very much, I have a picture of it I used to send to a dealer....it's a bit spur of the moment but gets the idea across.

If it's of any help I think Andy Twiss of Twiss pens sells CS parts, possibly through eBay too.

OK, the good news is that I can identify the feed as from an earlier model Churchill (before c. 2006/7 IIRC). The bad news is that I don't have any matching collars (plenty of later types, no early ones. Sorry).

 

What puzzles me slightly is the flange at the front of that collar as I don't remember that being a feature and I don't have a pen here for reference. That doesn't mean it's not a standard part though and the presence of the photo may mean someone here can come up with the goods for you.

 

HTH,

Any help is great, I haven't seen anything on eBay for awhile.

 

I don't know about anyone else but I've had this issue with other brands as well. Presents as internal leakage, the barrel and the convertor make a swap with the ink.

 

Having the Churchill on the shelf is not part of my long term plan for it. Its one of the nicest writers I've used and i haves several CS with the same IB nib and they are not as smooth.

Martin,

 

Thank you for your help, it seems to me that over a period of time they used several designs which makes it difficult to locate the parts.

 

Hopefully the picture will get some notice and maybe I can get this one running again.

Item no. 262414066860 On eBay.co.uk seller twico may help you.

Thank you, that one is a different style, however, I will contact the seller.

I contacted Twiss Pens and he has me fixed up and part is on the way.

 

Thank you for that suggestion.
