Following two pens are Caws Dashway pens with the larger one marked No:105 . Unfortunately the imprint on the cap for the other pen too far gone to read. Patent dates show up as follows.

Although pen looks to be an Over-Under feed only functional feed looks to be is the underfeed. Overfeed part looks to be just a pin to hold the nib in place. Please do correct m if i am wrong.

Feed is rather small and thin compared to the gap around it.

Sadly I don't have the correct nibs for these. currently they are Morton nibs. I believe they would have had nibs with an imprint containing their logo (a craw). Caps would have also had the logo + trademark imprinted on them. Its faded away in both :(. Once put in place nib doesn't move around or feel unstable. Its tip is at the very centre of the barrel and is held in place by the pin securely. I don't have the nib properly set in the larger pen. its kind of stuck due to old ink and i am worried it might brake if i try to pull it out.

      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

      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
