I bought it (for too much) as a "Conway Stewart" with no further details or indication of condition. On delivery, the tip of the nib was fractured and actually broke off while I was fiddling with it.
The barrel by itself screws securely into the cap, but if I fit the section, it does not, only closing by about 1/4 turn.
So I am wondering if the section is too long. Or the inner cap is too short. Or the cap is not the original one. I guess any of these could explain why the nib broke and it won't screw together properly. .
Anyway I am at a loss and would appreciate any insights.
The cap is 60mm long and the barrel 85mm. The section is 15mm. The barrel imprint is basically obliterated but I can just about make out the words "THE CONWAY PEN", nothing else
