The material chosen for the Marlborough Vintage is of the highest quality ebonite in a choice of Black, Blue Ripple, Rose Ripple and Woodgrain. Each piece is carefully examined for colour, pattern, and consistency. Once personally selected by our craftsman in Devon, the ebonite material is turned into pen parts, hand assembled, hand polished, and carefully hand fitted to ensure that every Marlborough Vintage fountain pen is kept to our highest standards of quality.

The barrel is accented with wide solid precious metal bands, while the bandless cap is set off with an engraved design at the top, reminiscent of some of the very early pen designs from Conway Stewart.

We have adopted a new and improved inner mechanism for the lever fill versions that allows for an easier and more complete filling of the ink sac, the lever itself is richly plated to match the trim of the Marlborough and adorned with the CS logo.

The Marlborough pen is substantial in style yet remains very easy to use with the gently curved section accommodating a wide range of hand sizes. Crafted completely out of ebonite, the Marlborough is both light in weight and warms gently in the hand during use.  

Offered in a choice of 18 carat solid gold nibs ranging from Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad,

Extra Broad, as well as Italic Fine, Italic Medium and Italic Broad, we feel confident that every writer will find the perfect selection of nib grade to suit their individual writing style.

Whether you choose the large ink capacity and ritualised filling ceremony of the eyedropper fill, the traditional elegance of the lever fill mechanism, or the ease and convenience of the modern converter cartridge system, the Marlborough Vintage is designed to provide you with a wonderful writing experience in keeping with our motto: The Best of British!
