Conway Stewart Vintage # 58 with gold imprint

[Knoffie]

 does anyone know if Conway Stewart ever used a gold imprint on their vintage pens ( C 1949-50)   I have just sen one that has a crystal clear  gold imprint

with the model number under the imprint. The "Made in England" is also in gold.  Thoughts?

A good place to start is Stephen Hull's book.  Fountain Pens for the Million, The History of Conway Stewart 1905-2005.

You might ask this again in the Great Britain & Ireland-Europe topic in the Regional Focus section.

Found a photo of the later classic  pens ( C 205-15) which has a black pen with gold imprint. So I guess Conway did it on earlier pens  as they have tried to mimic  he vintage pens  .  But still need to look further
