What Indian Pens Are You Using Today?

[mhguda]

so the pic posted was not the actual pic of your pen?

 

It will be interesting to see how the very good copy fares when kept side by side with the original.

Perhaps, but I am not willing to send it to you for you to try.

And I am not now or in the foreseeable future planning on acquiring an original.

This might be a bit off topic, but here goes. I have an Eversharp CA Ballpoint pen. I converted it to use a Stick Pen (Jot brand) ink tube. The stick pen is made in India (better quality I think). So am I using an Indian Pen?

Staying off topic, how did you do the conversion, and can you post a photo or two? I'd love to get my CA working attain, but I don't want to hack it about too much!

It was very easy. I unscrewed the old tube & point from the inside using a bit of rubberized shelf liner and pliers.Make sure you unscrew it clockwise from the inside.

The tube and ball unit are inserted from the front. Take apart a BIC Crystal, cut it the same length as the original tube (otherwise it will be too long), wrap a little clear tape behind the ball point, and insert it so the whole thing fits nice and snug.

Done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope that helps!

Doug, similar looking pens were made in India, perhaps under license, look here:

Wonderful - unlike the Binder mod (http://www.richardspens.com/?page=ref/repair/ca_mod.htm) it doesn't damage original parts so it's completely reversible.

 

Time to go out and buy a Bic refill!

[hari317]

This is a Wality Acrylic Eyedropper. F-nib, with some line variation. Fairly wet nib. Came with two nibs. Do not put this pen in rotation often. Discovered I'm not partial to eyedroppers. Purchased this pen about 5 yrs. ago.

looks really fab. Many pen makers in India use Wality nibs as they are easily available. I have not seen a Wality pen like your pen before, is it possible to post more pictures?

This is definitely not Wality. The hallmark of Wality / Airmail is that they always use their name on barrel and / or cap with the use of words Regd

It appears that I have gotten the maker name incorrect. This is not a Wality. I purchased it direct from India from the website that sells the Wality pens. Learning new things daily, and appreciate the knowledge. I hope these pictures will give you a better idea of the pen. My next purchase needs to be a decent digital camera.

Your pictures are good. My guess is that the pen is a Ranga. enjoy!

I also purchase my salwar kameez & sarees direct from India. Also, thanks for the clarification on the pen "Ranga".

Hi !

I just purchased a lot of BP pens for very little money as a project (Winter is coming), and need some help with them. One is a Camlin 123 brushed steel model, clicker .

I'm guessing maybe a Jotter refill?

A very elegant looking pen, but unfortunately, the previous owner removed the refill so I can't tell what type it uses. They've been removed from all the pens, so this will be an ongoing thing

Fellowship Pillar, another Click pen really. And my Asapen Genius and I Can. That's the rotation this week. The Fellowship was a little bonus; I tuned the nib to a fine stub and am really enjoying it.
