Product Description

Product Name Conway Stewart "Le Tigre" 65. The Le Tigre pens were made by Conway Stewart for the Benelux pen market. The model numbers are unique to the Le Tigre lines, but the pens usually correspond to a different numbered Conway Stewart model.

Nib MEDIUM flexible Conway Stewart 3N 14k nib is in great condition with excellent tipping. It has line flexibility from medium to double broad with moderate pressure. See our writing sample in the photos.
Condition Excellent condition. There is light surface scratching on the cap and barrel, but no cracks or chips. The clip has a lot of brassing, and the clip ring at the top has brassing and some plating wear. There are some tool marks on the feed, which do not affect the pen's function. The lever has some plating wear on the edges. The imprint is very clear. It's fully restored and working well.
Note: Curiously, we can't find any documentation of this pen model anywhere. CS has a model 65, but it's a metal capped pen from the late 1960s. There is some info on Le Tigre/CS models in the online Book of Numbers, but 65 doesn't show up there. This model is also missing from Hull's Fountain Pens for the Million, which is a history of Conway Stewart spanning 1905 - 2005; Appendix X in that book has a great chart of Le Tigre models.
