Wality 52 Overlay Design

[mhguda]

Scribbles, indeed Retrodesk never made good on that pen, but you might want to try FPN member Mesu who has several Walitys in the Classifieds here. Sadly, these are not the Overlay pens, but it is still a very nice pen; it just arrived. And, Mesu has offered to locate other hard to find Indian FPs...

When my stuff gets here I will post again.

Hari,

 

I appreciate your ongoing posts documenting a culture in which pens are still a common writing tool.

Nice review, Hari and beautiful pen! My black Wality 52D (with silver filigree design on cap) arrived from Mesu today and I love it! She also included an Oliver Exam fountain pen and this is a lovely little pen as well!

All my pens from Mesu have arrived (actually some days ago already...), among them a burgundy Wality 52PD to complement the earlier plain cap pen. They make a lovely pair, and are a pleasure to write with. I did do some tuning of the 52PD nib.

This joins my growing collection of interesting Indian pens, and I'm still getting to know the latest batch...

I, too, received a complimentary Oliver Exam, and it very strongly reminds me of the Noodler's Nib Creaper. Nice soft nib and an easy writer.

Nice review, Hari and beautiful pen! My black Wality 52D (with silver filigree design on cap) arrived ...

Thank you for reading. The 52D AFAIK has simply an etched and then filled, metal jacket over the cap. Very different from Filigree. Filigree is expertly practised in India however.

Hari, thank you for the clarification. I meant to say it is reminiscent of filigree work. It really is quite lovely, especially for the price.
