Needle In A Haystack


DTRU7298

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Greetings from Australia. Would anyone know if it is possible to find a replacement cap for a Conway Stewart Winston in classic black? I know there was a whole bunch of parts auctioned off recently but wasn't sure if that included replacement parts for the Winston.

 

I know I am looking for a needle in a haystack but am willing to do a lot of work to find it.

Just a quick update in case there are some people in the same boat as me. I was able to contact bespokebritishpens.co.uk by phone and it appears that they do have spare caps in stock as they will be making Conway Stewart Winstons.

 

Fountainpagan, many thanks for the Henry Simpole tip as he was the one who suggested I contact bespokebritishpens.

I will have a look in my collection, I may have one spare. Will get back to you. For info I will be selling off my personal collection of CS pens soon. Most of which are prototypes or first in line production models of everything I made during my ownership of CS

      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
