My first vintage pen was a Conway Stewart 330 with an oblique nib. It's my best vintage pen yet.
It write beautifully. However, since I've been using a dry iron gall ink it writes for one half a page and then it stops. I need to prime the feed or hold it nib side down in my pocket,
and then I'm good for another page and a half.
Ironically when writing with the pen you wouldn't know it's a dry ink.
When taking photos I noticed there's a distance between the feed and the section (3rd an 4th photos)
In my early days, I had an OCD habit of removing the feeds and nibs of my vintage pens when changing the ink.
I was later told that's the worst thing I can do.
Question: is it possible that I may have put by mistake a Waterman W2 feed instead of the original Conway or is it right feed and it's an ink problem?
Thanks in advance....
