You're camera is perfectly OK. A side view would be more decisive, but there does appear to be some tipping material. Amazing in a thirty cent pen! You could sell these easily for ten times as much over here!

In today’s rotation I have Ratnam Tarpoda (Big Size Ebonite) inked with Krishna Cool Breeze Ink. Ratnam Pens is oldest fountain pen manufacturer and part of Swadeshi Movement in India. The nib is self grounded to medium italic and writes super smooth.

Gorgeous pen. What's the size compared to Gama supreme / asa virat?

Enormously fun, deliciously wet ASA Nauka in blue/red ebonite with a gigantor 40mm Ambitious nib. My first Indian pen, an eyedropper inked with Chesterfield teal. Clipless, with bronze roll stopper in the form of a lotus, national flower of India. L. Subramaniam of ASA Pens does spectacular work.

Wow, that big Ambitious nib makes it a completely different pen! great idea. Will keep it in mind...

Quick question: where did the rollstopper come from? It looks as if it was specially made for your pen...was it?

First image shows side view and it shows that it has definitely tipping material. It is really a good pen and the price is really low.

mhguda, sagarb, thank you. I can't tell you how much fun that nib is. Push the nib in any direction, regardless of speed, and it just works.

 

The lotus roll-stopper came from Etsy, though I think it's also widely available on eBay. It's just an inexpensive adjustable ring.

Oh good. I found a number of nice adjustable rings on Etsy, have two coming. One planned for my Nauka, one for one of my Guider Onyxes. Glad they work out. I find your lotus very beautiful.
