Stealth black version is incrediblly rare, beautiful and understated Older model of the Pilot VP,
I personally enjoy using the older models a lot more. The clip is less intrusive, it has a lighter feel, and the facets make the pen a joy to hold. This version of capless is no longer in production nor are the 14k nibs on this pen.
Filler - Cartridge/converter; pen will be shipped with converter 1
4K Gold Nib - medium point, good writer, see writing sample.
The pen has a small visible scratch on one of the facets, not very noticeable but it's there. See pictures. Pen is in good condition overall but pen is used and may have mild scratches or signs of use.

Re: Conway Stewart Churchill- Crimson Blush LE

Given your photos document it, surely you must realize this is not a Conway Stewart (CS) Company pen. This pen was made from mostly CS parts which were acquired by another company (British Bespoke Pens Ltd) after the CS Factory closed. The LE number is a British Bespoke number, not CS LE number. The nib is likewise not a CS factory nib.

Given this is FPG I'm sure there will be a variety of opinions about this and that's fine. I "respectfully" believe that a more accurate description of what you are selling would be the right thing to do.

**akafridi3** · February 22nd, 2021, 06:54 PM

Thanks for your suggestions. Updated description. Given box and paper say say Conway Stewart I will leave that description with the addendum that made by Bespoke company.

**724Seney** · February 22nd, 2021, 07:04 PM

I think your revised post is well done and factually correct.

It is an authentic box from the CS factory and the pen was made to the same size specifications as the CS Churchill. I believe the clip is an authentic CS clip, as well. But, not the nib. British Bespoke did acquire some authentic CS nibs and when they use one on one of their pens they make it very clear that it is a CS nib.

The LE number is not a CS LE number. It is a British Bespoke LE number.

I note that in spite of your quick response here regarding the necessary edits to your sales post you have not made similar edits to the identical sales posts you have placed on Fountain Pen Network or Pentrace.
Any particular reason why??? If not, you might wish to consider doing so..............

**akafridi3** · February 23rd, 2021, 10:16 AM

Thanks for your recommendation 724Seney, please be patient with me and other sellers if we cannot make immediate edits. Please understand that some of us sellers here on fpgeeks and other forums have a full time job and it may take some time to get to it. Have a great day.

@724seney, a DM would be the more appropriate channel to discuss this. Doing so publicly makes the seller look like a scammer and makes you look like an asshole.

Thanks @heymatthew, it is what it is.............

And, speaking about "looking like an asshole," take a look in the mirror.
