I'm happy to report that I'm using my Conway Stewart 57 again today. I took the feed and nib apart, did a minor reset of the feed, and put it all back together. So far, the ink is making it to the nib again. I'll be using this for a few days to be sure I have it right, and possibly tune the nib just a little.

Thank you, mallymal1! I love the photos of your collection.

 

Today I'm using my new Marlborough Vintage, F, with Pilot Take-sumi ink. I had some fun photographing it:

I'm happy to report that my CS 57 has been a reliable and smooth pen since realigning the feed. I really like this pen.

 

...I need to get more...

I don't have anything marked "Conway Stewart" - I was never a fan even as a schoolboy and I do not know why that was but it has stayed with me.

 

Meanwhile I do have this antique syringe filler which carries no name, but an expert tells me that it was most likely manufactured by Conway Stewart. I really like it!

@ Cob: thank you.

 

You have a good hand, and I think that is a very nice flex nib there...

      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..

      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
