That is a MB 32 piston filler

 

Aah. That's a cool design. I might even consider trading you my Camlin Trinity for it, ink and all :-)

Chelpark Sona, Gama Raja, and Gama Hawk.

Ahab, where did you find these Indian school pens? I have turned my students on to fountain pens and may be looking to purchase some giveaways.

Ireiley, Talk to FPN member Mesu. I had a similar project and bought 15 Oliver Exams from her, for the purpose. Got a very good price, They're piston fillers and write very well. Although I got three back, because I made it a condition that they use them if they wanted to keep them. Two knew immediately they wouldn't, and one turned a pen in today. But the other twelve are hanging on to theirs. I guess that's still a successful project.

I think ASA Pens has a package deal for school pens as well.

My Gama supreme demonstrator came in the mail today, and I plan to take it to a conference, an all-day affair, tomorrow. It takes a ton of ink. Biggest demonstrator I've ever seen.

Thats genius.

Very curious how?

Total 75 minutes of hand drilling the various diameter steps needed and hand tapping the section for the schmidt unit and then hand boring the barrel to accommodate the converter. I have several more pics but maybe later.

That is a very cool conversion and a good choice of pen. The Padpad/Raja is a nice pen.
