DESCRIPTION
The Conway Stewart Winston Red Whirl is a striking and beautiful pen with a deep teal base, blending dark green and turquoise, with red marbled whirls, paired with 9ct gold fittings. The random red whirl pattern is different in each pen making each one unique.
The Winston is named after Sir Winston Churchill and it is our biggest and heaviest pen weighing 66 grams. See the "Dimensions and Weights" tab below for full specification.
The wider band at the nib section has English hallmarks: "375" for 9ct gold, "CS" for Conway Stewart, the Birmingham assay mark of an Anchor, and a date letter. These hallmarks prove the quality and authenticity of the material used.
The Winston range uses a rare and unusual ink filling mechanism called a captive-converter. The end of the barrel unscrews to reveal a gold-plated knurled knob which is used to fill the pen with ink from a bottle. A lighter cartridge/converter option is available at no extra cost, see "Filling Mechanism" below for more details. The pen comes in a black leatherette presentation box that doubles as a desk stand.
This pen is only available as a fountain pen and is fitted with an 18ct gold Conway Stewart nib as standard, although 14ct gold flex nibs are available as an option.
