Can't blame a bloke for trying init?
Don't mean he's selling loads does it?
He's only a normal guy the same as the rest of us, a Devon bloke David Cooper.
Nice name nice site but does that make him special?
Of course it does special to him init?

Good luck to him that's what I say. If he can get that sort of money that's great for him. If I asked for that sort of money for a pen around my neck of the woods they would have me sectioned in no time :thinks::thinks::thinks:

When I started looking into GPS pen blanks I was convinced that some of their R Series were Conway Stewart blanks.
I am now convinced.

I went to a pen show at Chester earlier in the year and the chap who runs Worcester Pen Company (Bryan Lucas I think) said that he uses the same materials Conway Stewart did and gets them from GPS.
So you are more than likely to be correct Dan

I can't decide if the pen was made by Conway Stewart or made by the bloke selling them. :thinks:

It does say on the website that "All the Conway Stewart pens shown on this website have been acquired from the administrators of Conway Stewart Manufacturing Ltd in September 2014, either as completed pens or as components which have subsequently been assembled by our experienced team". So it could be either Ray

I find it difficult to see how any pen could be worth £100s let alone £1,000s. However have just watched part of a program about a buyer in London who buys for the mega rich (they apparently do not have time to do it for themselves) and he was looking at some material for a suit that cost £6,000 / metre. He needed 5 meters to make the suit so I guess those pens may seem reasonable.
