The Duro Shingle mirrors an array of seaside hues, is a blend of soft sandy creams and dark pebble browns that’s beautifully set off the Cap that; has a single wide 9ct gold band which can be engraved with one’s initials or a special date. There are 3 other 9ct gold thin rings that adorn this pen; above the nib holder, before the blind barrel end and the tassie ring. First launched in 1924, the Duro is a timeless classic British pen from Conway Stewart, the right size for the pocket and treasured by both the men and women who use this pen in their daily professional lives. Its timeless lines are pure 1920's, but are as contemporary and valid today as when the pen was first designed. The Duro uses the same iconic Conway Stewart clip as fitted to the Churchill mounted on the side of the cap. The cap tassie, the nib holder and the barrel blind end are all in high density polished black acrylic giving the Duro that classical look that is often referred to “Bracketed”. The pen is housed in an original Conway Stewart black leatherette presentation box which doubles as an elegant desk display. Both the size and weight of this pen are comparable to the Parker Duofold Centennial. The pen is almost new and the converter has only been inked once.
