The Conway Stewart 75 sits in the late post-war numbered range, with nickel-plated trim and a quieter nib character. Swirled green and black celluloid, not a conservative finish. A daily-carry desk pen that saw careful use. The celluloid here is in fantastic condition: minimal UV bleaching, no crystallization, only minor shrinkage at the rear finial that does not affect structural integrity or the lever mechanism. Crisp barrel imprints. The ebonite collar has been fully restored to mint and paired with a juicy feed that keeps up with the nib at full flex. The Conway #3 14k nib measures 0.35mm hairlines opening to 1.63mm at 380g Flex pressure for a 4.7× line variation in the F to 4B range. Slight cursive italic in the grind (0.35mm horizontal, 0.40mm vertical). Smoother tipping than the 286 sibling and faster snapback than the 27, with a slightly firmer initial deflection compared to the other two Conways in this batch. Grade A overall, and a clean daily writer for someone who wants Conway flex character without the flashy patterns of the Candy Stripe. Celluloid lightly polished and waxed. NPT hand-polished. Fresh latex sac. Nib and feed tuned. Tested on Rhodia 90gsm ivory with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black.

Appendix for Listing Details

Sweating the details is fundamental to understanding, appreciating, and knowing the peice of history you have in your hands.

All pens are filled and tested, not just dipped in ink, which does not reflect writing characteristics whatsoever.

Line Variation Standard

Different restorers have different standards for line sizing and especially for vintage pens, the printed tipping size will not always be accurate due to repairs/grinds/etc. Please use this as a frame of reference for consistency.

Flexibility Standard

Nib flexibility is such a controversial topic, but there needs to be some level of consistency so please take this table as a frame of reference for my restorations and as someone who is writing in a calligraphic/spencerian style of cursive script. Without objective measurements, flexibility terms such as wet noodle are useless as someone with stronger forearms and grip strength will make even manifold nibs into a wet noodle.
