AJ50 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I’m told that Bespoke British Pens are now selling their pens with a new Conway Stewart nib as opposed to their flag nib. Has anyone any experience with these new nibs? I’m told that their Flag nibs were great to use, but they were boring to look at - in my opinion. So I’m hoping the new Conway Stewart branded nibs are going to be great looking as well as great to use. Has anyone used one of these nibs yet? Link to post Share on other sites
encremental Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) That's good news. Nice as the Flag nib might be to use, for me it turned the pen into a very expensive Frankenpen, and I could never seriously consider one. Exciting colourful resins are more easily available now, and cruel though it might sound, Bespoke British Pens need to do more than trade on a heap of old spare parts to get my attention. Having the correct nib makes them that much more interesting. John Edited September 17, 2020 by encremental Link to post Share on other sites

AJ50 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Share Posted September 19, 2020 The attached image shows one of the new nibs. I think they look far better than the Flag nibs. Has anyone used one yet? Link to post Share on other sites
david6 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I recently purchased a Conway Stewart Churchill from Bespoke British Pens and opted for one of the new Conway Stewart nibs. Its an option and you need to request the nib. Mine is an all gold version of the one shown above and in my opinion it looks great. As for how it writes............it is a delight to write with, it is smooth and writes first time every time with no startup issues. Link to post Share on other sites
como Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 This is so much better! I prefer this new version with the breather hole, and tone-tone is nice too! Thank you for posting.The attached image shows one of the new nibs. I think they look far better than the Flag nibs. Has anyone used one yet? Link to post Share on other sites
gerigo Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Don't quote me on it but that looks like a JOWO nib? Any one verify? The old nibs were Bock. Link to post Share on other sites
Newton Pens Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Don't quote me on it but that looks like a JOWO nib? Any one verify? The old nibs were Bock.Yep looks like Jowo. I think the flags were Jowo, too, and the old CS nibs were Bock. We Give Away Scholarships! - Support High School Students Going to College Link to post Share on other sites
markofp Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I’m very close to pushing the button on a Winston now that the (boring) flag nib is gone, but I am hoping for more reviews of the newer "Conway Stewart" logo nibs, especially the fine. I take it these are more of a Western fine point, like a Montblanc in width. Link to post Share on other sites
warblerick Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I like the older new nibs, without the breather hole. Link to post Share on other sites
