Detection Collection Michael Jecks, 'The Church House' Limited Edition Fountain Pen, 2010

In 2010, Conway Stewart was thrilled to unveil the 'Detection Collection', a series of limited edition pens that paid homage to the finest authors in crime fiction. Each pen was a unique collaboration between Conway Stewart and renowned crime writers, with the model, resin finish, and decoration personally chosen by the author to complement their preferred style of writing instrument. To honor each novelist, the pen's barrel features a facsimile of the author's signature, and the cap top is engraved with the exclusive Detection Collection logo.

The first pen in the Detection Collection is a tribute to the works of Michael Jecks, the British author of the Templar Series, renowned for his best-selling medieval crime stories set in the turbulent 1300s. Michael's fondness for Conway Stewart pens began with the purchase of the Churchill model in classic black resin, which he used almost daily. His passion for our fine writing instruments grew, and he soon added the solid sterling silver Drake model to his daily choice of writing instruments.

As a resident of Northern Dartmoor, Michael draws inspiration for his novels from the moors of Devon, the home County of Conway Stewart. This unique connection is reflected in the design of the pen, making it a truly special piece for any pen enthusiast.

To launch the first series of the Detection Collection, the pen model design chosen by Michael is an adaptation of their popular Winston from the European Edition. The Winston model bears close characteristics of our award-winning Churchill model -- one of Michael's favorite pens -- bringing a fresh modern style to the timeless classic oversized flat top look.

The Michael Jecks Church House edition is limited to only 100 numbered pieces. Crafted from their elegant Dartmoor finish, an interesting series of browns, shimmering with suppressed highlights, marbled into a deep black background. This choice of resin is deceptively simple with its mixture of understated shades and allows the owner to experience the best of both worlds: elegant and classic design with a touch of shimmering fashion.

he barrel is set off with an 18-carat solid gold ring at the bottom and a large gold band at the section and Michael Jeck's autograph engraved on the barrel. The cap features a pair of solid gold bands and the Detection Collection logo engraved on the cap top. The fountain pen is mounted with an 18 carat solid gold nib in a Medium grade. Ink is delivered via the twist fill mechanism which allows the use of a wide choice of colors available with bottled inks.

he Detection Collection limited edition series is housed in the luxury Conway Stewart packaging accompanied with a personally signed book published exclusively for this series along with a bottle of Conway Stewart ink chosen by the author.

The Michael Jecks edition is the ideal choice for those who want a large pen, one that stands out in a crowd, but which still stays true to the classic style and feel of a classic vintage Conway Stewart design. The top mounted clip allows the pen to sit low in the pocket, making this model a more practical choice for everyday use, and we’ve added a carefully balanced solid brass liner to the barrel to give this model a comfortable heft without making it too heavy for comfortable use.
