For sale is a near-mint 'replica' of the modern Conway Stewart Dandy (i.e partially completed pen obtained from the liquidation sale of the company) in the Brown Whirl Acrylic. This is a gorgeous, semi-translucent material with great chatoyance and depth with shimmer underlying the green which is striated with gold swirls. It really is quite a material.
I have fitted the pen with a Jinhao No.6 nib and a Bock No.6 feed (don't fret) - it is actually a stellar writer. EDIT: Rechecked the nib and must have gotten it wrong. Turns out it's a rounded nib medium/fine. I'll throw in a Bock No.6 EF nib as well then. Tines are perfectly aligned and the nib writes very, very well - one of the nicest nibs I've used and very much a workhorse type of nib. Writes rather wet as well - 7.5/10. In any case, you can always swap out the nib and use your own No.6 nib (nib and feed are friction-fit).
There are microscratches on the barrel from me polishing the pen with Micromesh and are rather discreet and can only be seen when reflected in the light. The pen is an Eyedropper filled pen - holds an enormous amount of ink (at least 4mL). This pen is in actually near-mint condition with about a quarter of a fill run through it. There is also no trim to the pen i.e no clip or cap bands and no brandings.
Measurements are as follows:
Closed: 12.4cm
Barrel + Nib: 11.7cm
Cap: 6.1cm
So you're getting one of the last pens produced ever by Conway Stewart in near-mint condition and while there is no branding on the pen itself, the design matches up with the modern Dandy model - the two slots for the cap bands, the slot for the section band, the slot for the upper cap band all match up. The acrylic is also distinctively Conway Stewart - you can find it on the Churchill models so in fact, you're getting a one-off, exclusive pen: a Dandy in Brown Whirl Acrylic. I've attached some pictures of the Dandy and the Churchill below.
Asking $250 shipped.
Now $165 USD. Please email me at brikmastr126@gmail.com if interested.
