you will see where many of the CS pens, branded packaging and bits & pieces from the auction must have ended up. It seems Alastair hasn't totally given up on Conway Stewart just yet, if you read the blurb. Sadly, they have just lazily recycled most of the old marketing crap as 'Our History'. Plus ça change, plus ça la même chose....

It doesn't look like they are the type to get thier hands dirty making pens.

Looks aren't everything! But at least you can be sure that they have access to people who actually know how to make & QC pens properly - and in the UK as well.

£56?  Blimey, someone is bonkers.  I had a book of quotes of WSC, and it didn't cost anything like that.

 

People are strange!
