ah, noted. will try sending them an email just for the fun of it.

I asked them for a Advocate with 1&1/2 turns, they customised it but took too much of time.

wonderful, some pics of the threads if possible?

That pen resides with my sister, so will post some pics once I go home or precisely when I meet her.

It had some threads on the barrel (the later ones) absent. I don't know about inside the cap threads. The gap between the threads (& size of threads) too was almost same.

BTW what I received required 2 turns (but that was fine too)

Oh, thanks! I understood what they have done.

Hari...permission granted... glad that they arrived safe and sound...talking of threads and turns in Deccan pens, and since there is some discussion going on in this thread, I took the opportunity to check out all my 'thready' Deccans and noticed that only two models pass the lowest thread test...one is the White Masterpiece...only two full turns...and the other is the pen with a plastic brushed body and steel cap (it is named ONYX on the cap lip)...this has just one and a half full turns...all others are major turners...spinners would love them...

 

Thanks Pelman...for your appreciation...

Thanks for permitting me Jai.

 

I must check the no of turns it takes on my green MP. I will revert back channel with the info.

 

Best

de-pen-dent...got yours yet? what about your 'Author'?

 

I'm going to give this one a miss, as the colors dont appeal to me - although the size and shape of the pen does.

 

I did get my aerofill Author but it is quite a disappointing writer. It puts out a wet-enough line but it has a lot of "resistance", for some reason. I tried opening up the tines and that still hasnt fixed the resistance.

 

Am sending it back to Deccan for fixing (a fellow FPNer has been kind enough to take it to them).

resistance as in scratchy?

[de_pen_dent]

No, it is quite smooth and has adequate wetness as well. But it just doesnt glide across the paper as effortlessly as other nibs, but requires some effort to push. Think about trying to slide across a smooth wooden floor vs a floor with rubber mats.

[hari317]

perhaps a nib replacement by Deccan might help...

Great to see a beautiful homage pen with its own personality!

[Abhik]

 

Call Deccan to ask if they have any left, I was told that all are gone for the moment, but we do know that the mileage may vary depending on who you ask there.

Yematso available?

[shrujaya]

Abhik, the last time I went there, some weeks ago, there weren't any, but you can always call them up and ask them ...
