Much obliged, thank you! And I went with a Fine nib. Slipped my mind to put that in my post! It’s a very smooth writing fine nib. Line width wise it falls right in between my metro and safari nibs. I wanted to start with that so I could potentially use it at work on less than stellar paper. I’ll probably end up getting a few different nib sizes for it at some point.Congrats on the TWSBI, what nib size did you get?
@Jut, it indeed has a gold nib. I don't think it is plated. Is there a way to verify this?
Nice looking pen, congrats.I think it looks Steampunk, but TWSBI calls it Diamond 580 Smoke Rose Gold! Intended to be a pen for work, but now I wonder if I should keep it home. Or get another!

Did you buy the Conway Stewart? I have two and find them fantastic, I love the nibs on both (mediums).Is buying one pen after the other considered a 'compulsive behaviour'? I bought the Parker 45 flighter as I saw it in an antique shop while I had already shown interest in the Conway Stewart 76 that I propose here. I liked the colour, blue, and the pattern, herringbone. The nib, a #5, and the fact that is it a medium. So folks, here it is

Wow, that's nice! Where did you find that gem and did it have a box or case? Sentinel model, right?
