Cartridges For Queensway Pens?

[UltraMagnus]

I recently picked up a used cartridge pen, made by a company called "queensway", can anyone tell me what cartridges they take?

It depends, the Queen Mary pens used the RCC Standard while the Queen Elizabeth used Henry Standard; the Queen Sheba pens used only the short Torah Standard and the Queen Nef pens used the Nile Standard.

Very helpful...

 

Seriously, does anyone know?

I have a Queensway pen - not very expensive with semi-hooded nib. I bought it new, I think in the 60s, together with a packet of its own proprietary cartridges - each with a metal cap on the "non-business" end. In those days, pen makers had their own specific cartridges (Parker, Sheaffer, etc.). I don't recall there being any international standard in those days. I got out the old Queensway this evening and, just for fun, put the nib and section into the ultrasonic cleaner. There was still an empty cartridge in the pen, which looked close (at least at the "business end") to an international standard cartridge. I have tried fitting an (empty) one and it goes in nice and firmly. When I have finished cleaning up the nib and section, I'll try an international cartridge with ink in it. I bet that it works!

Sorry to be so late on the topic but am a new member and also a recent purchaser of an old Queensway. It certaily will accept a long Universal Standard cartridge or two short ones back-to-back - it has just been tried and fits perfectly!
