CONWAY STEWART 100 vintage LE TIGRE rare Made in England 1950s

[aurore]

[SIZE=4]Lovely Conway Stewart 100 made for Belgian market under "Le Tigre" in 50s. Extremely rare, almost impossible to find.

The nib is CS size 20 engraved "Le Tigre", medium grade, about semi-flex.

The pen is overall in good condition, no cracks, no very deep scratches etc.
There is some loss of plating to the clip and lever (see the photos).
Overall works well, writes very well and looks nice.

The section is a kind of a different colour (dark swamp green), no idea wthether it has not been changed, but fits perfectly.
There is a new rubber sac installed.

Beautiful pen. How large is it?

[aurore]

It's 136mm long. Exactly the same pen as for English market, except nib engraving, barrel engraving "Le Tigre" and numbering (120). Also the vent hole is of a heart shape which I believe is rarer than a round one in case of CS 100.
CS 100 which used to be made for markets in France and Belgium.
