Conway Stewart?

[Doctox]

There is no brand forum for these, so I am putting this here.
IMHO, the latest version of CS pens, made by Bespoke British Pens, are about the best new pens on the market. I have been a fan of many vintage brands, and am a fam of recent Parkers and Pelikans, though I feel both have gone downhill in the psat few years.
I have been very busy between my "day job" and posting a number of pens and watches for sale (I am "setting my affairs in order" as the expression goes), but I will try to do some photos and reviews of a few CS pens in the next while.
I will include just one pic here, of last year's "Christmas Pen" - a Churchill in Evergreen colour, which is a lovely bright translucentt green with inner iridescence. The point is that the folks at BBP will go to great lengths and fine details to make a pen special. In this case, their engraver changed the "Made in England" mark to reflect the Christmas specialness of pen made by Father Christmas (or perhaps a senior elf).

Depends... Conway Stewarts from Great Britain are probably very nice pens. However, The Pen Family also markets their version of Conway Stewart Churchills. Apparently they must have bought rights to use the name. Notice the difference in the nibs between the Pen Family's Conway Stewart and the ones manufactured in England?

Most BBP pens have JoWo nibs. The bigger pens (Churchill and Winston, Dr. Pen, among others) have the JoWo #7 18 K gold, which are absolutely fabulous. I have 5 now, and every one is perfect. My wife a selection of smaller ones, also JoWo (and Bock for older pens) nibs. They are available in monotone gold or 2-tone with palladium. They do custom nib work as well, so you can get not just the Xf - BB range of sizes, but stub, italic, oblique etc. Their nibsmith does an excellent job.
Also, they will sell nib units separately, so if you want e.g. a medium AND a stub for your pen, you can do that. They mean it when they say "Bespoke".xmaspen1 copy.jpg

Here's one from the "golden age" of fountain pens. It has a broad wet stub under that cap.
