Hope my scrawl doesn't offend too much. :blush:

 

 

Very beautiful combination. I really love that color pen, and with that ink, it is eye-popping :yikes:. Cannot wait to see what CS has in store for the upcoming holidays...

Today I'm using this colorful Dandy. It's light, but nicely balanced and a favorite. I've never seen the color before does anyone have any insights as to when this pen was made? The number is 455/500S post-13312-0-11116400-1383586931_thumb.jpg

CS+Belliver+Medical+Sciences+w+Grays_273

 

My newest. A "Medical Sciences" Limited Edition. It is modeled on the Belliver, which is my favorite modern CS shape, but in chased ebonite and with the single broad cap band.

 

I will have the broad nib that came on this beauty ground to a 0.7 mm cursive italic.

Sorry, I have no idea when this was produced, or what the colour is, but it is a beautiful pen.

 

Hope someone can come up with the info.

Today, my Conway Stewart No. 475.

 

I'm very Brit today, British pen, British pipe, English pipe blend :D

 

 

 

Yes, quite!......

 

 

How on earth did it happen? How can one possibly use so many pens? Which one am I using today?!

 

 

 

Just collected up all the Conway Stewarts that were lying around the flat. Time for a sort out!

 

:thumbup:

 

Some very nice pens there.....it's very easy to end up with lots of CS pens..... :rolleyes:

Don't know for your sure, but your colorful Dandy, could be 5 years old or so?.....

Must be a new pen. Why not ask CS to exchange the nib for their IM nib???

Very handsome indeed!

 

Thank you for the good words, sir!

 

If only my pics could do justice to my CS pens.....they both look much better in person than my poor photos show....

Hi Parispens, an amber Dandy sold on ebay yesterday...its number was 448/500 and was dated to 2006. Maybe your pen is dated to around this time?

Today it is The Universal Pen, No. 470 which has faded to a beautiful dark chocolate brown and a blue marble 388 with a faded barrel, but it still writes smoothly!

A small parcel arrived by post last evening. After I opened it and allowed it some time to acclimate towards room temperature, I removed a new bottle of Diamine Sepia, which I immediately uncapped, and filled my CS 100 Coral Green. Such a nice warm autumn color.

 

A tip of the hat to Mallymal1, for his photos of this lovely ink.

You're welcome.

 

Sounds like you know how to appreciate a fine ink, warblerick. :thumbup:

      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
