Conway Stewart introduces the Nelson Series of fountain pens and other writing instruments pens in celebration of Lord Nelson, who established British naval dominance at the Battle of Trafalgar 200 years ago. The Nelson Series fountain pen has a solid, weighty barrel that is perfectly balanced when writing, with or without posting the cap. The handcrafted resin barrel is accented with solid 18K gold bands that echo the pen's nautical theme, one large and two thin, denoting Nelson's rank of Vice Admiral at Trafalgar. The fountain pen has a substantial, 18K solid gold nib available in fine, medium, extra fine and broad sizes. It fills via cartridge or converter filling system. Also available in matching roller-ball pen.
